Sixth Form Research,
shared.
A community for Sixth Form student researchers at every stage, supported by teachers as facilitators, and a bridge from the Sixth Form to university and beyond.
A place for every stage of research
The Sixth Form Research Network (SFRN) is a community for Sixth Form student researchers, supported by their teachers as facilitators, at whatever stage they’re at.
Some students have a finished project to share. Others have work in progress, a subject that has sparked their curiosity, or an interest in research and no idea where to start. Wherever you are, there’s a place for you, and a role to play: presenting your work, sharing a project in progress, or joining the audience to gather ideas for a project you have only just begun.
More about SFRNWe believe that…
- 1
Sixth Form students are researchers, at every stage, from first curiosity to finished work.
- 2
Students are the researchers; teachers facilitate, guiding and supporting.
- 3
Research is a bridge to university, and builds transferable skills that make you more adaptable in higher study and work.
- 4
Students from state and independent schools alike have a lot to gain from learning alongside one another.
- 5
Sharing your work in a supportive setting helps to develop the skills but also the identity and profile of a researcher.
- 6
Sixth Form students deserve publishing opportunities; the Network intends to launch a journal dedicated to Sixth Form student research.
- 7
Connecting beyond a single school makes everyone’s thinking richer.
Our aim is to build an open, sociable and supportive community that helps this work happen, and helps it reach the people who can learn from it.
