The Evidence People
On the 10th September, 2016, Philippa Cordingley presented at the annual ResearchED Conference in London, a practitioner-led event attended by educators and researchers from across the UK. Philippa's session drew on the recently published Teach First Gaining and Sustaining Momentum Report and the newly launched SKEIN Momentum product.

CUREE has, in collaboration with Teach First, concluded a research project continuing on from our previous work on characteristics of high-performing schools. As an extension of that project, CUREE has spent a year exploring characteristics shared by schools which are struggling to establish and/or continue momentum in their progress towards reaching high-performing status, and investigating how these schools’ individual contexts and circumstances relate to the broader evidence base around what exactly makes schools successful in making progress.
