About Ambitions Academies Trust
Thank you for visiting the Ambitions Academies Trust careers page.
Our purpose is to provide outstanding education and improve the life chances of all the children and young people in the Trust. Ambitions Academies Trust provides an outstanding education across all sectors – primary, secondary and special. It ensures our pupils and young people are given a broad and balanced education which prepares them well for success in their future lives. We provide strong challenge and support to our Academies and ensure they deliver success for all.
Professional development, challenge and support are at the heart of ensuring our staff are some of the finest teachers so they can deliver outstanding teaching.
Our Trust benefits greatly from the combination of mainstream and special schools within the Trust, enabling staff to benefit greatly from collaborative learning.
We were appointed a Teaching School in 2014 which has enabled us to build on our successful outreach and teacher training work. We now provide extensive support to many schools and Academies.
Ambitions Academies Trust is proud to be open and inclusive. We are always seeking to work closely with parents and carers.
I look forward to working with you in the future.
Yours sincerely
