Ark Victoria Academy provides pupils with a unique journey in their education through the curriculum, personal development programme, student experience offer and the vast range of opportunities that we are able to provide as an all-through school. Whilst being a large school, we are able to retain a family feel, to nurture our pupils through their schooling and ensure that they leave us with the skills and qualifications necessary to continue their journey of life-long learning in a university or career of their choice. 

It's for this reason that Ark Victoria Academy was judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in May 2019, with a strong emphasis on expert subject knowledge from our teachers, strong teaching and leadership and a focus on excellence for our students and staff.

The Role

Young people need your support now more than ever, and as an Ark Graduate Teaching Assistant you’ll be a pillar of strength to not only the students, but to the school and community after what has been a turbulent and uncertain time.

In this incredibly rewarding role you’ll be supporting pupils/students, parents, and teachers, to establish a supportive learning environment in which children are able to flourish, get back on track and fulfil their potential.

With a focus on English, you will support Year 11 outcomes through the delivery of specific learning and structured academic intervention programmes to small groups of students/pupils. You will also provide cover for classroom teachers, using lessons planned by a teacher or supervise work set by a teacher.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be instrumental in our mission to provide every student, regardless of their background, a great education and real choices in life.
