We have a well-developed research culture and we’re already extensively involved in R&D with the IOE. The IOE Specialist Partner Award (Research and Development) may be for you. This is one of three School Partnership Awards, the others being for Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and Professional and Leadership Development.

To be designated, a named school, working with a group of other schools will meet a set of clear criteria in terms of the depth, duration and quality of its work in partnership with the IOE. Schools achieving all three awards may progress to IOE Principal Partner.
