About Us

Meols Cop Research School is an exciting development and part of the evidence based journey that the school has been on. We have taken part in the Education Endowment Foundation-funded RISE project and have been one of the schools embedding evidence-based practice into all aspects of school life. As a Research School our core purpose is to:

• Share the very best of evidence-based practice to schools and teachers across the North West
• Provide evidence-based training and support to schools in the region
• Host conferences and events
• Develop interventions and practices that help improve the life chances of students.

We are very proud to support many different schools locally as well as taking part in innovative research projects, such as the King’s College London  â€‹‘Best Practice in Student Grouping’ project and the Spaced Learning project.

We work closely with the Education Endowment Foundation and are currently conducting a national trial into effective marking in English, called FLASH marking. More information is available at www.flashmarking.co.uk

The Research Schools Network is a collaboration (EEF and IEE) to create a network of schools that support the use of evidence to improve teaching practice.
