Welcome to the
Institute of Education

We embrace the values of educate, empower, engage, and enrich to create a remarkable learning environment. Our mission is to provide a transformative education that goes beyond the traditional boundaries, fostering a love for learning and empowering pupils to reach their full potential.

Professional Development

Designed to empower colleagues and achieve higher pupil outcomes. Our professional development is delivered by active teaching practitioners and educational leaders with the content being evidence-informed, up to date and contextually relevant. We also work with strategic partners to provide training delivered from our Centres of Excellence across the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.

Opening doors of opportunity and empowering individuals

The Wonder Institute of Education team work as servant leaders, to promote positive change and growth for the children, colleagues, and schools, both within and outside of the Wonder Learning Partnership.

Our vision is to create an educational ecosystem where professionals are empowered, pupils’ lives are enriched, and every learner is equipped to thrive in a world in which the only constant is change. We are committed to providing dynamic, inspirational teaching that is accessible to all.

Together in Partnership Across Yorkshire

We recognise that teacher time is precious and professional development can present a financial challenge. Our Centres of Excellence offer a place for cluster partnership working and provide a platform for meaningful collaboration, enabling schools to learn from one another with the needs of schools, rural communities, and pupils at the heart of our decision making.

The content of our training is evidence-informed, up to date and contextually relevant to classrooms, schools and the regional areas across North Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

We are also delighted to be working with the following key, strategic partners to deliver our offer: York St John’s University, supporting our early careers development; Vantage Teaching School to lead on the delivery of an NPQ in Leading Teaching, and our friends and colleagues at Ryedale Learning Trust to support us in delivering our training goals.

Together we can do something remarkable, so that all our children and young people have a first-class educational experience. Whether you work with us already or we have yet to meet, we look forward to spending time with you and learning together.
