An update from Ambition School Leadership

Graduates of the Future Leaders and Teaching Leaders programmes are helping to change lives. James Toop looks at what’s next for the charity behind the programmes

We believe that great school leadership is the first step in school improvement. Great leaders create great schools. Great schools change lives. They are schools where every child achieves, where no child is left behind. But currently, 95,000 children leave school each year without the basic qualifications they need.

And the gaps in pupil outcomes are too large – 88 per cent of the variation in pupil outcomes occurs due to variation within schools.

As CEO of education charity Ambition School Leadership, I’m privileged to see the impact our 200 Future Leaders headteachers are making as they transform schools in our most disadvantaged communities. All our leaders have a clear vision, focus on consistently excellent teaching and create feedback cultures where all staff and pupils are driven to improve.
