Centre for Research into Practice Annual Conference 2024

Over 120 delegates came together for the second annual conference of the Centre for Research into Practice held on 21 May 2024. The subject of this year’s conference was ‘‘Making a Difference’: Creating Impact Through Research and Enquiry’ and attendees were treated to a diverse range of presentations, discussions and poster sessions. Themes included wellbeing, community, leadership, as well as presentations from current PGCE students on their school-based research projects. Among the conference highlights were:

 

- Presentations from the Young Educational Researchers Network (YERN) at partner schools, who spoke about their research projects in their schools and communities;

- A visit from Menna, a dog who, along with her owner, works with a number of local schools to support pupils with their reading.

The audience also participated in a Research Carousel in the afternoon, attending short, five-minute presentations and talks, before moving to the next – which kept everybody moving and alert after lunch! We would like to thank all of the presenters and participants for a wonderful day of learning and networking. We look forward to seeing you all again next year!
