Aim: To find out what motivates students in the sixth form. What stimulates them in lessons? What motivates them to complete homework? What features of their relationships with teachers and fellow students motivate them? Which types of teaching motivate and demotivate them?"

Aim: Our aim was to explore collaborative working in relation to producing and using active learning approaches and materials, the effectiveness of peer coaching on team development and CPD and leadership behaviour and learning.

Aim: To ascertain whether computers can improve the results of students in a Year 10 science programme and whether students in other subjects can benefit.

Aim: To improve childrens' confidence and engage disaffected pupils (boys in particular) through the teaching of a Visual Awareness Strategy (VAST), as a third visual tool with which to express themselves across the curriculum and to instruct teachers in VAST strategies and Action Research Methods to enhance their own teaching through the use of a visual awareness strategy across the curriculum.

Aim: The aim of this project was to find a more effective approach to managing behaviour than the schools existing structured system of consequences. In particular, the research focused on how positive behaviour strategies could be used to improve students behaviour for learning. This stemmed from my personal concern that whilst the system of consequences was a helpful way of managing poor behaviour, there was little acknowledgement given to students who behaved well.

Aim: From 1996 the school had tried to establish a Students as Researchers (SaRs) initiative to enable students to investigate, analyse and present student perspectives on aspects of school life and learning. This study records the attempts to evaluate the impact of participating in such research projects on the students learning. The aim of the research was to evaluate the impact of participating in such research projects on the students themselves in terms of: Their attitude to the SaRs initiative; Their social skills; and Their academic skills.

Aim: The aims of this study were threefold: To investigate the rationale behind certain management practices adopted by school leaders in independent schools; To assess how effectively these values are communicated to staff; and To examine how widely they are accepted.

Aim: To discover if the use of diagnostic probes can increase teacher effectiveness and pupil learning in Science.

Aim: The report of the survey of practitioner use of research carried out in England in 2011 by the NTRP.

Aim: To see how the science curriculum at KS3 could be made more accessible for EAL learners of Pakistani origin and to develop an effective teaching partnership between specialist subject staff and ethnic minority achievement grant funded (EMA) support staff.
