Educational Psychologist
This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled Educational Psychologist to work closely with five Birmingham-based Ark schools and have a huge impact on some of our most vulnerable pupils. You will join a wider team of professionals that make up our Inclusion Teams in school and contribute to the well-being and progress of our pupils.
You will undertake pupil assessments with undiagnosed SEND, provide guidance and training for staff to ensure needs are met. You will also provide guidance on reasonable adjustments and adaptations where needed. You will be working closely with SEND, pastoral and welfare teams to ensure early intervention is in place for our most vulnerable pupils.
This role will be based in Ark Victoria Academy, supporting other Ark schools in Birmingham, though there may be some hybrid working available. You must be able to travel across Birmingham to other Ark Schools.
If you are ready to add further value to our educational support team and to work alongside an ambitious and effective regional team, then you will find this job extremely rewarding.
About Ark Victoria Academy
Ark Victoria Academy is a high performing school across all key stages, providing 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. 82% of all grades awarded at GCSE 2022 are grade 4 and above, against a national figure of 73%. 72% of students gained a grade 4 or above for English and maths. At KS2 77% of pupils gained the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, against a national figure of 59%.
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.
