About us
The Wigan Institute of Education is a new teacher training provider – the culmination of two successful legacies in the borough. In September 2024, the renowned Learning Futures Partnership and the Trinity Teaching Alliance joined forces, creating a powerhouse of educational excellence. We're not simply merging organisations; we're weaving together a tapestry of experience, expertise, and unwavering dedication to nurturing the next generation of inspiring educators.
Our mission isn't just to equip you with skills – it's to ignite a passion for teaching that will shape the lives of countless young minds.
We believe that becoming a teacher isn't just a job; it's a vocation, a chance to widen horizons and improve pupils’ life chances.
At the Wigan Institute of Education, we'll provide you with the knowledge, confidence, and support you need to answer that calling and become an excellent classroom practitioner.
