Shotton Hall Research School

North East SCITT is part of the national Research Schools Network through Shotton Hall Research School. Research Schools aim to lead the way in the use of evidence-based teaching, build affiliations with large numbers of schools in their region, and support the use of evidence at scale.

Research Schools work with the other schools in their areas to help them use evidence more effectively to inform their teaching through:

encouraging schools to make use of evidence-based programmes and practices through regular communication and events
providing training and professional development, for senior leaders and teachers, on how to improve classroom practice based on the best available evidence.
