Our difference
Most apprenticeship providers treat apprenticeships as a funding programme.
We treat them as integral to your school and trust improvement strategy; enabling your people to develop the specific knowledge, skills and behaviours to further impact in the communities you serve.
01
Built for education
Every programme is designed to fit the rhythm of school life, not borrowed from the corporate world, designed with you and the responsibilities of your role in mind. Serving each other and young people sit at the heart of everything we do.
02
Transformational
education improvement leader
Our flagship pathway proves the model: staff learning while delivering measurable improvement projects, delivering on those hard to achieve improvement priorities, supported by our experise and a dedicated executive coach.
03
Peer pods
Unique to our ioda beliefs, our collaborative model connects staff across roles to break silos, build culture and strengthen CPD ecosystems. Improvement never happens in isolation; creating teams to deliver improvement is essential for success.
04
Educators
first
We have walked in your shoes, worked in the roles we are supporting, stood in playgrounds on a Friday afternoon in the wind and rain. Authenticity and shared lived experience are key. Our pathways are delivered by people who’ve lived school life, not corporate trainers.
05
Progression
pathways
From entry-level to senior leadership, our approach enables you to map a talent pipeline which schools and trusts can rely on.
06
Wraparound
support
