Research and development
The teaching school is very well positioned to be at the forefront of educational developments through links with Challenge Partners, a national network of schools as well as other national networks such as Leading Edge and Leadership Partner Schools.
The engagement with schools across the country enables the teaching school to share existing knowledge, generate new learning and provide support within and beyond the alliance.
