Strategic work with schools

Current initiatives include our work with the 果冻影院 Academy, the creation of a school governors network and a consultative sixth form panel.

We work strategically with schools and colleges, including the 果冻影院 Academy, to improve transition from school to university, inform our teaching practices and deliver the best possible learning outcomes for our students.

果冻影院 Academy

We were the first university in the country to be the sole sponsor of an academy 鈥� a non-selective mixed state school in our home borough of Camden.

School Governors Network

We are developing a support and training network for the many 果冻影院 staff who serve as governors of schools and colleges.

See below for more information.

Sixth form panel

We have established a consultative panel of sixth formers from a range of schools across London, to help us scrutinise and improve our policy and practice.

More information coming soon.

果冻影院 Governor听Network

果冻影院 staff who volunteer as school or college governors, or are thinking about doing so, are welcome to join the 果冻影院 Governor Network.

The network is a volunteer-led initiative which will provide support and training for the many 果冻影院 staff who serve as governors of schools and 6th form colleges, and inspire more staff to take on governor roles.听

Aims of the network

link governors to the latest research and ideas from the IOE, 果冻影院's Faculty of Education and Society,听to enhance their knowledge and confidence to challenge and innovate
be positive ambassadors for 果冻影院 with schools and colleges and ensure governors have information about relevant 果冻影院 activities, such as undergraduate open days and IOE short courses, to share with their schools or college.
