Run by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), the fund will pay for a series of pilot projects to “test out the most effective ways of translating research findings into changes in the classroom”.
Schools minister David Laws announced last week that the government is to contribute
£1 million to the fund, with £300,000 coming from the London Schools Excellence Fund and £200,000 from the EEF itself.

“For that reason, we have invested an additional £1 million in the Education Endowment Foundation to fund pilot projects to test out the most effective ways of translating research findings into changes in the classroom.
