Ambition Institute

Ambition Institute designs and delivers professional development for educators at every stage – from new teachers through to CEOs leading multiple schools, and all the crucial teaching and leadership roles in between.

Children from disadvantaged backgrounds don’t do as well at school. We are working to change that by building an education system where every child can thrive, no matter what their background.

We run training programmes for teachers, school leaders and system leaders who serve children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our programmes support educators at every stage – from new teachers through to leaders of groups of schools.

We believe that people hold the key to effecting real change in education – both the talented educators who join our programmes, and our close-knit community of ambitious and dedicated staff. In the first year since launching Ambition Institute in March 2019, we have worked with over 9,300 educators across 2,300 schools, collectively reaching more than 1.3 million children across the country.

Mission: We are working for a fair society built on an education system where every child can thrive, no matter what their background.
