Description

Expressions of interest are sought to conduct a series of qualitative interviews with school senior leaders to investigate successful approaches to supporting most academically able disadvantage pupils. We anticipate a minimum of 40 in-depth telephone interviews will be conducted with school leaders in order to address the research aims. The successful bidder will be expected to work closely with the department to develop questions and topic areas for the interview guides. Whilst we have set out the broad parameters of the methodology bidders are free to suggest amendments if, based on their proven expertise, they can provide clear rationale as to how this will successfully meet the key aims of the research.

Closing date for EOIs: 5pm, Friday 8th December 2017
