The PTI works to improve the quality of education for young people in state schools in England and Wales by empowering teachers to deliver inspiring, high-quality subject teaching.
We believe every teacher deserves access to high-quality professional development that deepens their subject knowledge and strengthens their classroom practice. With your support, we can reach more teachers, enrich more young people’s learning and help every pupil access the excellent education they deserve.

Why we exist
“From Cornwall in the South-West to County Durham in the North-East, we support Britain’s teachers – each of whom is uniquely positioned to ensure that every young person receives a great education and the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Teachers touch everyone’s lives, and we all understand the difference a great teacher can make.”
- Dr Hugh Rayment-Pickard MBE, Co-Director, The PTI
Our mission - The PTI is dedicated to making high-quality, rigorous and enjoyable education available to every child, regardless of background or ability.
What we do - We achieve this by providing high-quality, subject-specific professional development for teachers at every stage of their careers.
What we achieve - Our programmes had a notable effect last year, reaching over 6,000 teachers and positively impacting the lives of 535,000 pupils.
Why The PTI matters • Every child deserves an excellent education. Yet not all young people have equitable access to a rich curriculum delivered by inspiring and knowledgeable teachers. • Great teaching makes a difference. Teachers need access to high-quality professional development to deepen their subject knowledge and deliver engaging, challenging lessons that enable every pupil to thrive. • Inspiring lessons open doors. A rich, engaging education builds curiosity, develops critical thinking and equips young people with the knowledge and skills to shape their futures. • Teachers deserve to feel valued and supported. Investing in teachers' professional development helps nurture their confidence, strengthen their practice and support their long-term commitment to the profession, at a time when recruitment and retention remain significant challenges.
