Practical evaluation support to help you evidence and improve your impact
The Hub for Evaluation of Applied Education and Innovation works with schools, colleges, early years settings, local authorities, charities and education organisations to help you understand, evidence and improve the impact of your work.
We offer accessible, research informed evaluation support, ranging from data analysis and survey design to bespoke programme evaluations, all tailored to the realities of busy education settings.
How we work with schools and education partners
As part of Edge Hill University’s Faculty of Education, the Hub is embedded within a large and diverse education partnership network spanning early years, schools, colleges, local authorities and third sector organisations.
This means we understand the real world contexts you are working in — and design evaluation approaches that are:
- sensitive to workload and capacity
- proportionate and realistic
- aligned with your setting, priorities and pupils or learners
- grounded in sector-leading research and practice
We work with you, not to you, building evaluation approaches that support learning, improvement and confidence.
