Opportunity for an exceptional teacher to be a founding middle leader, shaping a brand new Ark secondary school in Ealing
Ark Soane Academy is a new secondary school in Acton opening in September 2020 to year 7 initially and growing each year. Our aim is to transform children’s lives through an excellent education.
