Research is fundamental to the quality of our education. This scheme aims to provide teacher-researchers with time, support and structure to conduct research that will have a direct impact on educational development and benefit students.

The Academy of Theatre and Dance is pleased to invite applications from teachers to the third round of its ATD Teacher-Researcher Fellowships Scheme. 

For the school year 2025-26, the Academy will award one Teacher-Researcher Fellowship which will pay for one teacher-researcher to conduct a research project directly connected to arts education at the ATD for 1 day a week over 1 year from September 2025 – September 2026. The Fellow will also receive supervision and mentoring from the Lectorate. Read the full call for applications and apply by 1 April, 2025.
