Project Momentum

AI Leadership Cohort for Senior Education Leaders

Project Momentum is a premium 10-week AI leadership programme for senior education leaders — headteachers, principals, superintendents, system leaders, trust CEOs, and innovation directors. Led by Dan Fitzpatrick (Forbes Senior Contributor, author of The AI Classroom) and Sabba Quidwai (education innovation leader). Build your school's AI strategy with expert frameworks, peer challenge, and hands-on prototyping. The Founding Cohort begins 14 April 2026 and runs for 10 weeks.

What you build

A complete AI strategy for your school or system, anchored in a passion project you choose in Week 1, sharpened by expert frameworks, peer challenge, and hands-on prototyping over 10 weeks. You also receive a leadership workbook, copies of both facilitators' books, and lifetime access to a global peer community of senior education leaders.

Who Project Momentum is for

Senior education leaders with real decision-making authority — headteachers, principals, superintendents, MAT and trust CEOs, executive heads, and innovation directors across the UK, US, Middle East, Australia, and globally. Public, independent, IB, British international, and American international schools all welcome. This is not a beginner introduction.
