Next Steps Education aims to give every student an equal opportunity in education by reducing all and any barriers to learning. At Next Steps, we want to see a world where each child is included and each child can access their full potential.

In May 1961, President John F Kennedy famously declared his vision to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. The moon landing - the culmination of eight years of unprecedented imaginative endeavour - was watched by more than 600 million people across the world in 1969. The impossible became possible through limitless ambition.

Our moonshot?

To be the go-to provider of additional tuition for every student  in need across the greater South West.

Next Steps Education started because we recognised a need. Working as teachers in areas of deprivation we were familiar with the inequalities existing in education and the opportunities many students miss, not through any lack of willingness or know-how from schools and teachers, but because ‘the system’ just didn’t have the means to provide the change these children and families were crying out for.

We felt that we could do something about it by sitting outside of schools and offering strong, enabling support, not just to our students, but to the schools and senior leaders we work with and the families we support too.

Our business aims to be a positive catalyst for change in every dimension and for everyone who touches our service. That positive environment for everyone builds from our primary value – People First! The contributions each one of us brings – our organisation, tutors, mentors, family members, schools, local authorities – build together for a child showing them they are valued, capable and supported. From the platform of security we create together, our students can make the most of opportunities that education can offer them.
