Marc Rowland Partnership
Last week, we confirmed the EEF’s commitment to ERA. This week, we are excited to confirm strategic partnership with Marc Rowland:
'"It's a joy to be involved in ERA! There is something incredibly special happening in our community of schools.
Our work is rooted in the needs of our community, rooted in research evidence and expertise. Together, we are supporting and challenging each other to be the best we can be.
We are working towards a common goal - helping every pupil to thrive in their education, irrespective of background and starting point."
