Research and practice networks
Our Research & Practice networks are designed to provide a space for researchers and practitioners to share and discuss ideas and common areas of interest. They are open to all interested stakeholders and researchers and will meet at least twice a year. Our overarching aim is to develop our understandings of complex, real world problems and solutions.
- School Exclusions and Alternative Provision (SEAP) network
SEAP aims to bring practitioners and researchers together to talk about all issues relevant to young people involved in school exclusion processes and/or placed in Alternative Provision. We welcome staff working in schools and in other educational settings and roles as well as new and more established researchers.
Facilitated by Louise Gazeley (Professor of Education), Hannah Olle (Doctoral Researcher in the School of Education and Social Work) and George Fisher (West Sussex Alternative Provision College).
Contact Louise for further information, including details of next meeting.

- Reading, Digital and Poliliteracies network
Secondary Book Club: This reading group is for English teachers and librarians from Sussex and beyond. We shadow read all the books on the UKLA longlist and meet six times across the year to discuss the books and how we’d use them both in the classroom and more widely, to encourage young people to read for pleasure. It is also an opportunity to share ideas, resources and tips for whole school literacy and reading in general. Contact Lucy.Bruen@sussex.ac.uk for more information.
