The Mead Institute serves as the dedicated training, coaching, and development arm of The Mead Educational Trust (TMET). Our mission is to provide training for staff, post-16 students, and volunteers, empowering them to excel. We regularly offer governance training, first aid, and much more.

At the heart of The Mead Institute are three key pillars: the Leicester and Leicestershire Teaching School Hub, the Leicestershire Secondary School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) – both integral parts of The Mead Educational Trust – and professional learning opportunities for those involved in education. Through these, we deliver National Professional Qualifications (NPQs), governor training, initial teacher training, and system leadership support.

Though newly established in June 2022, The Mead Institute benefits greatly from the extensive experience and expertise of TMET’s leaders and staff, alongside its well-established and highly regarded Teaching School Hub and SCITT.
