CUREE are working with the ATLAS Teaching School Alliance as a professional research partner on a Department for Education-funded research and development project investigating data-related workload at KS5 and how to reduce it. The project will explore the existing beliefs and expectations of different stakeholders (students, parents, teachers and school leaders) linked to the collection, sharing and analysis of data, evaluating the current inefficiencies and workload demands linked to these activities in order to examine how they might be better re-deployed, whilst meeting the needs of all stakeholders and maintaining and improving student outcomes.
The project will draw on CUREE's extensive experience of evaluation and supporting evidence-informed improvement across school MATs and TSAs. CUREE will carry out research activities, including interviews and surveys, to support ATLAS in their in-school development activities.
