Welcome to the STEP Institute of Education

At the STEP Institute of Education, we work to support teachers and school leaders by providing the highest quality development opportunities to schools.

Our expert team of teacher educators is committed to this work and passionately believes that professional development is the best and most sustainable way to drive up standards in our schools and ultimately improve the educational outcomes and life chances of the pupils we serve.

Working to deliver the DfE's 'Golden Thread', including the Early Career Framework (ECF) and the National Professional Qualifications (NPQs), as well as developing our own PD programmes, we draw on both local and national expertise to ensure teachers and school leaders are supported through every stage of their career.
