Ambition Institute

Who we are

Ambition Institute is a national education charity. We design and deliver 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 have c.350 staff at Ambition, who work across the country on a hybrid working basis, and we have offices in Manchester, Birmingham, and London. We are lucky enough to recruit talented and energetic people from all walks of life, who are driven by our mission and committed to our organisational value to ‘keep getting better’ in all that we do.

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