Hear about the outstanding quality, range and impact of our work with school-based professionals across the region in gaining doctorates.

Since 2022-23, Canterbury Christ Church University has been exploring how we work with our partner schools on a collaborative basis and beyond trainee placements. Supporting and facilitating high-quality research has been an important part of this work. This has been the basis of the Education Research Schools Network.

We have also worked with a significant number of school-based professionals, across our partnership region and beyond, in gaining higher qualifications, including at doctoral level.

Reflecting our continuing commitment to this provision, we are pleased to invite you to an evening event on 26 February 2025 to hear more about the outstanding quality, range and impact of this doctoral work. Speakers include Seamus Murphy (CEO of Turner Schools), Dr Quentin Roper (Director of Education at Canterbury Diocese), and Marcia White (Secondary Outreach Lead at Bromley Trust Academy).
