Abstract
This chapter presents a critical reflection on the process of setting up a whole-school model for teacher research. It is a collaborative piece presented through the lens of the school’s senior lead for CPD, co-written with a university lecturer. The chapter details the implementation of, and learnings from, yearly, school-wide, practitioner-research cycles that occurred prior to the inception of the Research-Practice Partnership (RPP) with the University of Greater Manchester. The chapter concludes that such a partnership might enrich the school’s teacher-research cycles.
