2. Ambition School Leadership – who are we?
Ambition School Leadership is a national education charity working to build a network of exceptional leaders at all levels in schools in challenging contexts.
We launched in November 2016 as the result of a merger of Teaching Leaders and The Future Leaders Trust who, together, have worked in leadership development in the education sector for more than 18 years. We have a joint network of more than 4,000 leaders and over 1,500 school partners.

3. Why?
So, why did we join forces? Because we know together we can offer more to schools to develop their leaders, effect sustainable, long-term improvement and ultimately, improve outcomes for children.
Our ambition is for a fair society built on an education system where every child can thrive, no matter what their background. And to help get there, we are building a network of exceptional school leaders at all levels to transform the lives of the children who need it most.

4. Our programmes
We know that effective school leadership has a life-changing impact on pupils, and Ambition School Leadership is unique because we develop school leaders at all levels - from aspiring middle leaders to CEOs. This means we can create career pathways that support people to master their current role and/or to progress onto the next.
The screen shot here is what we’re focusing on today, which is middle leadership – the Teaching Leaders programme, which I’ll talk about now.
