Cornwall Research School
Mounts Bay Academy are delighted to host Cornwall Research School (CRS). After four years as an Associate RS, working closely with colleagues from Kingsbridge RS, we are pleased to be able to continue supporting schools in Cornwall and the Southwest region.
The mission of the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and CRS is to break the link between family income and educational achievement by using research evidence to inform pedagogy, teaching practice and pupil learning.
CRS is led by Director John Rodgers, supported by a core team of Deputy Director Luca Owenbridge and Project Coordinator Victoria Mitchell. CRS has an extended team of Evidence Leaders of Education (ELEs) and Evidence Advocates who are all outstanding practitioners and represent a range of contexts, phases and subject disciplines.
