About Ambition Institute
As one of the Department for Education’s lead NPQ providers, we are delighted to support you on your development journey.
At Ambition Institute our mission is to support schools tackling educational disadvantage to keep getting better and help their teachers and leaders to become more expert over time.
This is how we build an education system where every child can thrive, no matter what their background. To achieve this, we design and deliver professional development that draws on the latest evidence, the insights of expert educators across the country, and our experience of what works.
Delivery and Time Commitments
Time out of schools has been kept to a minimum with the new NPQs. We know it can be difficult for participants to be covered to come out of school.
The Specialist Leader NPQs require a 1 day conference, complemented by 5 after-school ‘clinics’, whilst the Leadership NPQs require 2 day conferences and 8 twilight sessions.
The programme journey through Ambition 12 month Specialist NPQs and 18 month Leadership NPQs is:
- 1 ‘course’ per half term
- Online study ‘little and often’
- Supported by an induction conference and half termly clinics and communities
