The website features news, events and publications centered around the five key research domains as set out by the 2021-2022 Research Agenda. It allows for searchable and easy access to current and future Barker thinking in these areas. Learning is at the centre of Barker College and The Barker Institute and it is hoped that anyone who visits the website may be able to learn something to impact their lives or their teaching.

Of particular interest to some will be our events. The Barker Institute hosts 15-20 events each year for parents, teachers, students and the wider community. All are invited to join this community of learning whether the expert presenter is on Barker staff or an invited guest. RSVP early to secure your seats.

Another exciting page is where we hold our published work. Dissemination is a vital step in the research process and the Barker Institute has now published 6 editions of the journal Learning in Practice which features staff academic writing. Whether it is a staff member completing a PhD, someone conducting research as part of their role at the school, or simply an area of interest or professional growth, there are many valuable contributions of interest to the wider education community. A growing repository of student research can also be found on this page.

To get in contact with any of the researchers and thinkers featured on this website, you can make an inquiry online. We’d love to hear from you.
