A unique opportunity to join a passionate team of staff in an Outstanding new and growing academy
Ark Conway Primary Academy opened as a new primary school for 4-11 year olds in a refurbished, beautiful library on Hemlock Road, White City in September 2011. It has one form of entry and is non-denominational and non-selective, welcoming boys and girls of all abilities from the local area. Ark Conway was judged as outstanding in all areas by Ofsted in July 2013.

Our recent Graduate Co-teachers have successfully gained a place on the programme and are now working towards Qualified Teaching Status with us.
