Strategic Plan

The Ambition Community Trust Strategic Plan 2025-2028 sets out a clear and comprehensive vision for sustainable growth, exceptional educational outcomes, and the advancement of relational inclusion. This plan outlines the Trust’s roadmap for achieving financial stability, fostering a strong sense of collaboration and equity, and expanding its impact across Greater Manchester and beyond.

Rooted in the Trust’s core values, the strategy emphasises the importance of maintaining individual school identities while strengthening collective capacity. Through a hub-based model, the Trust will grow across Tameside, Manchester, and Trafford, ensuring personalised support and localised relationships that reflect the needs of each community. Expansion will be balanced with a steadfast commitment to supporting existing schools, ensuring they receive maximum value and resources.

At the heart of the plan is a focus on relational inclusion, a pioneering approach that places relationships, equity, and holistic support at the centre of education. This vision will be realised through the establishment of a robust therapeutic team and a comprehensive training package, equipping staff with the tools to meet the diverse needs of all children while positioning the Trust as a leader in inclusive education.

Through strategic partnerships, innovative practices, and a shared commitment to excellence, Ambition Community Trust aims to create a thriving network of schools that inspire, nurture, and empower every child to succeed. This plan represents a bold step forward, ensuring the Trust remains an agent for change and a voice for inclusion across the educational landscape.
