The Edge Foundation undertakes high quality independent education research, which helps to underpin our policy development as well as our work with grant-funded projects and our delivery work in schools and colleges. Our research is focused around four key themes:

Edge has a team of independent researchers who lead our primary research projects. We also work with a wide range of associate researchers and early career researchers from universities and partner organisations in the UK and beyond.

All of our publications, both primary and commissioned research, are available for you to download, use, quote and cite in any of your work.

Our study visits look in depth at examples of innovative practice both in the UK and abroad. We share the lessons and insights from these with the wider community.

Edge is committed to supporting and connecting the wider research community in this area. We have a range of open research networks and always welcome new interest. We also run regular conferences and events to share our own and others’ research with a wider audience.
