EXTERNAL STRENGTHENING
Global research and collaboration, integrated through one Clarwyn-owned architecture.
Clarwyn uses external relationships only where they serve a defined school outcome and can be translated into adult practice, learner experience and visible evidence. Making Caring Common strengthens care and trusted relationships. The Deeper Learning Alliance strengthens the Praxis, teacher learning and classroom implementation.

RESEARCH & PRACTICE RELATIONSHIPS
Two relationships. One Clarwyn architecture
Care, belonging & trusted relationships
In partnership with Making Caring Common, a project of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, through the Caring Schools Network.
Making Caring Common strengthens Caring Community Learning, Mentor Circle, Adult-to-Student Relationship Mapping, student voice and the continuous review of Every Child Known.
Teaching, adult learning & visible evidence
Clarwyn’s leadership team is part of the 2026-27 Deeper Learning Alliance, guided by the Deeper Learning Institute, a project of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The year-long work strengthens the Clarwyn Praxis from framework to teacher-ready practice.
The work connects the Praxis to planning, rehearsal, coaching, classroom practice, student work and evidence-based improvement.
Clarwyn brings learning from both relationships into one connected school experience while remaining responsible for how it is applied across learning, care and community life.
DISTINCT JOBS, SHARED PURPOSE
How the relationships connect
Making Caring Common
Strengthens caring-community learning, trusted-adult relationships, relationship mapping, student voice and the review of Every Child Known.
Deeper Learning Alliance
Strengthens the translation of the Praxis into teacher planning, professional learning, classroom practice and evidence of student growth.
One connected school experience
The Graduate Profile, curriculum, Praxis, Wisdom Compass, Mentor Circle and Every Child Known remain part of Clarwyn’s own approach, strengthened by relevant learning from these relationships.
How families will see the impact
Families will see the impact through thoughtful teaching, stronger relationships, meaningful student work and continuous improvement in school practice.
OUR FOCUS IN THE DEEPER LEARNING ALLIANCE
Turning the Clarwyn Praxis into consistent classroom practice.
Through the Alliance, Clarwyn’s leadership is developing practical ways for teachers to plan, teach, assess and reflect through Understand, Question, Practise, Apply and Reflect, while adapting the method to different ages and subjects.
How the work supports teaching
Alliance workshops, research and peer learning help Clarwyn refine planning tools, teacher development and classroom practice.
What this strengthens
A clearer, more usable Praxis that remains consistent across the school while responding to age, subject and learner needs.
WHAT THESE RELATIONSHIPS SHOULD STRENGTHEN
Visible gains in teaching, belonging, trusted-adult relationships and evidence-led review
Clear goals, strong knowledge and disciplined practice
Meaningful questions, creativity and application
Known adults, student voice and credible routes to support
A school that reviews evidence and improves its systems
