Description
Summary:	Victoria Junior School in Barrow-in-Furness has been piloting an after-school research club to teach children what makes valid and reliable research. This pupil-led project has been developed by Barrow Excellence Cluster, which works in partnership with Lancaster University to fund a full-time researcher working with local schools. It's an initiative which aims to help the children engage with research and to develop arguments and opinions properly based on that research, so that - well equipped - they can approach and challenge adults and figures of authority. As well as giving them valuable skills for the future, the scheme helps to boost children's confidence in speaking & listening, writing and reading. It has been so successful that the school is now introducing these research techniques across the normal curriculum.
