Alumni Research into Quaker Schools

Zoe Simms, is undertaking research at the University of Birmingham into the fascinating subject: 'An examination of whether exposure to Quaker values at school affects adult character.’ The Head, Matthew Judd is delighted for us to pass on Zoe's request for your thoughts and views. Zoe explains: "In 2017 I graduated with an MSc in Learning and Teaching from Oxford University. My primary research was ‘Religious Education in a Faith School Quaker Setting’ and ‘Still Education: an examination of Quaker stillness as an active teaching method. I have decided to further my Quaker Studies by conducting private PhD research at Birmingham University.

My question regarding whether exposure to Quaker values at school affects adult character is going to need the help of old scholars from the years 1985-2000, so please contact me using the details below for more information or to take part." If you would like to take part, especially if you were at Leighton Park between 1985 and 2000, do contact Zoe. We are looking forward to seeing the outcome of the research.
