Edapt provides edu-legal support for school staff in England and Wales. We feature a range of blog posts from teachers and educators every month.

What if exam results are not as predicted? Is capability likely?

There will be someone in school furiously working out ‘the data’, ‘the stats’, ‘the key metrics’ and so ‘define the narrative’. Normally results are as you broadly expect. But when things don’t go to plan…is a capability process likely?

At Edapt, from time to time we are contacted by PhD researchers and Masters students who are completing research and conducting questionnaires about the teaching profession. Where possible, we like to support by providing a platform so that school staff can see if they would like to contribute towards new studies.
