The Mead Community Primary School, designated a National Teaching School in July 2011, works in partnership with Collaborative School Ltd, its cross-phase alliance of 21 schools in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. The Mead is a National Lead School for Research and Development (R&D).
R&D is identified by the national Teaching School agenda as one of the “Big 6”, alongside initial teacher education, CPD and leadership development, succession planning and talent management, Specialist Leaders of Education (SLEs), and school-to-school support.
The inclusion of R&D builds on the concept of the “teaching hospital”, where there is a professional responsibility for practitioners to be research-engaged to shape the direction of practice and contribute to the knowledge-base for their profession.
