The schools represent five of the region's counties and include a nursery, a junior school and four primary schools.Their areas of investigation, all linked to the aims and values of the Cambridge Primary Review are diverse, with topics including creating innovative learning spaces; providing opportunities for trainee teachers to observe 'values in action' and exciting the imagination in the early years. Updates on these projects will feature regularly in our newsletters so watch this space!
