Ark Acton Academy

This role represents a unique opportunity to join an Academy at the beginning of its improvement journey and help grow Ark Acton into a beacon for state education. We know that the quality of an Academy cannot outstrip the quality of its teachers and so we place a primacy on teacher growth and development. Working for Ark Schools you will receive high levels of support and coaching and be allowed to develop.

Working for Ark schools, you will be part of Ark, an international charity and one of the UK's most successful multi academy trusts, with a network of 38 schools in 4 locations across the country.

Benefits of being part of the Ark network include:

• A salary higher than the main scale teacher salaries

• Twice as many training days as standard and network-wide events with Ark colleagues, held by the best minds in education

If you are obsessed about the importance of subjects as disciplines and the role your subject plays in helping students make sense of the world around them then this is the job for you. We place the curriculum at the heart of school life and are currently heavily involved in research into curriculum thinking and developing subject expertise.

The ideal candidate will:

·         Have a strong academic background, with good A Levels or equivalent, and a good degree

·         Combine subject matter expertise with a passion for teaching science

·         Have the commitment, skills and character to achieve student outcomes
