Research and Evidence Informed Leadership and Practice

CUREE in 2023

CUREE has been providing evidence-informed support to teachers, leaders and policy makers for 25 years and much has changed in that time. The end of 2022 sees a further stage in CUREE’s evolution as we step back from the directly delivery of our services to our friends and clients in the education world and move to a strategic partnership mode of working principally through and with organisations we know, trust and with whom we share values.

In 2023, CUREE will be working closely with Whole Education (WE) and other organisations. We will continue with our coaching and mentoring activities, where Rebecca Raybould already leads for us.

Philippa and Paul will step back from day-to-day activity but will continue to engage with existing clients and friends directly and/or in partnership; and with others where the project is too tempting or too worthwhile to refuse. Do get in touch if you think you have one of those!

This website will stay online – as we are told by many that they find it a valuable resource – but but be aware that it is not extensively updated. We expect that the site, or most of the resources on it, will eventually migrate elsewhere
