A Space for Learning, Leadership and Collaboration
The Institute of Learning is Venn Academy Trust’s purpose-built professional learning and training venue, providing a high-quality environment where people can learn, collaborate and develop together.
Based at Willerby Hill Business Park in Hull, the Institute provides a flexible space for professional development, leadership training, conferences, strategic working and partnership events across education and the wider public sector.
Created as an alternative to a traditional commercial venue, the Institute has been designed around the needs of education professionals — providing a calm, well-equipped environment where the focus can remain firmly on learning, discussion and collaboration.

Supporting Professional Learning
The Institute of Learning provides a dedicated environment for professional development across Venn and beyond. From leadership development and trust-wide training to workshops, briefings and collaborative projects, the space enables colleagues to come together to share expertise, develop practice and explore new ideas.
It also provides a setting for Venn’s own professional development initiatives, including the Artisan Teacher Programme and Aspirant Leader Programme, helping connect learning, leadership and collaboration across the wider Venn community.
A Flexible Space for Education

From smaller workshops and leadership sessions to larger conferences and trust-wide development days, the space can be adapted around the needs of each event. Presentation facilities, guest Wi-Fi, refreshments and on-site support are available, with the venue prepared in advance to help organisers and delegates make the most of their time together.
