A Welcome from the Chief Executive
CUREE works at the leading edge of research and evidence-informed educational policy and practice. Our mission centres on promoting the use of evidence by building bridges between academic research and professional practice. We support practice-driven action research, develop tools for Continuing Professional Development (CPD), for organisational leadership and for teaching and learning. We believe in modelling good practice in everything we do and our work in consultancy, advice, development and training in the use of research and evidence is consistently informed by the principles underpinning effective mentoring and coaching in education.
We work in collaboration with a range of individuals and organisations. Our clients include national organisations such as the General Teaching Council (GTC), the National College (formerly the NCSL), the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) and the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA). We work with the UK government, in particular the DCSF, and increasingly other people's governments (e.g. Italy, Canada). Of course, we also work directly with schools, and colleges - individually and in networks - and with Local Authorities across the country.
We have tried to include a lot of resources on our site of use to practitioners, leaders and policy makers. We have also included links to lots of relevant stuff in other places (much of which we made too). I hope you find it useful. If so, please let us know.

School leadership
School leadership and student outcomes: identifying what works and why. The general perception among politicians, policy makers and the public at large is that head teachers can make a difference to the progress their students make at school. After all it is often head teachers who pay the ultimate price when schools are deemed to be failing. Whether such a view of the key role of leadership in schools is justified by the evidence is something the authors of this study set out to establish.
