About Ambition Education Trust


Welcome to Ambition Education Trust - 'Educational Excellence for All'

The Ambition Education Trust (AET) consists of ten schools in Hertfordshire; three primary, one nursery and infants’, one juniors and five secondary. Our Trust launched in September 2024 following the amalgamation of two established Multi Academy Trusts (MATs), Alban Academies Trust and Atlas Multi Academy Trust. Our aim is to build on our proven track records of maintaining exceptional standards and driving continuous school improvement. We are building a collaborative partnership of schools which will provide an exceptional educational experience, both within and outside the classroom, by promoting excellence and stretching challenge. 

Providing ‘educational excellence for all’ and making superb learning opportunities available to all the children and young people in our schools, requires exceptional teachers and support staff.

As a trust we strive to offer rewarding careers and opportunities for personal and professional development throughout our organisation and we are always eager to hear from talented individuals who want to make a difference.

Within our schools and trust central team, we have a wide range of fantastic roles both within teaching, including newly qualified and unqualified teaching positions, and school support roles, such as classroom and learning support, administrative support and roles within our business functions.

We are also proud to provide a great range of flexible opportunities including term time and part time working.

Please read on to learn more about our Trust vision and values or visit our website to find out more about us.
