We’re pleased to launch the STEM Research & Innovation Framework, our guide to building a strong STEM culture in schools. The framework brings together best practice from the education, research, and charity communities to enable school leaders to develop an effective whole school strategy to support science, technology, engineering and maths within their school.

Having worked in state schools, our team of former science teachers and school leaders appreciate that capturing students’ imagination and lighting the passion of the next generation of scientists can be challenging. We hope the STEM Research & Innovation Framework provides the guidance and tools educators need and also sparks a wider discussion about how we can change the culture of UK education to make authentic research and innovation part of every young person’s experience.
