We are a designated an EEF/IEE Research School. Huntington plays a crucial role in this DfE initiative and will provide colleagues with great professional development opportunities.
Research Schools aim to lead the way in the use of evidence-based practice. Through the network we share what they know about putting research into practice, and support schools in their region to make better use of evidence to inform their teaching and learning so that they really make a difference in the classroom.
Becoming a Research School is an exciting development that will help us to support teachers and school leaders in our region, and nationally, at a time of turmoil and increasingly challenging curricula and assessment. We see our role as providing support tools and training to better inform school improvement and improve student outcomes.
"The school has a well-thought-out professional development programme for staff, which is supported effectively by the Research School. As a result, staff are experts in their subject areas. The school ensures that staff are supported in their development and learning. Staff apply relevant subject and pedagogical research. This benefits all pupils." - Ofsted Nov 2023
