Our Research Team

Our Student Co-Researchers

Nine students from Greenacre School in Barnsley joined our project as young co-researchers. Greenacre is a special educational needs school, part of the Wellspring Academy Trust, that supports children and young people. 

We asked our student co-researchers to think of a project pseudonym and create a badge to identify themselves.  Two students could not be present on this day but we would like to recognise their contributions to this research project. 

a circle of badges made by our student co-researchers detailing their co-created researcher names. In the centre is a maker{futures} badge.
