Thank you for your interest in joining Ark Soane Academy. Our ambition is to provide an outstanding academic education for all our students to enable them to live happy and fulfilled lives and to be the drivers of their own destinies.

About our school:

Ark Soane Academy is a new secondary school in Acton which opened in 2021. We will have 720 students in Years 7- 10 from September 2024 and will be launching our GCSE programmes for the first time.

Ark Soane seeks to redefine what is possible in education. Our model is “simplicity delivered expertly”: by delivering an immaculately planned and highly academic curriculum exceptionally well; and by providing our students with a compelling aspiration-raising ethos we seek to transform the future of students in a highly deprived community.

Behaviour at Soane is exemplary enabling you to deliver exceptional lessons. Students are entirely bought-in to the values and ethos of the school and know that they are fortunate to attend a school where the quality of education is exceptional and where love, warmth, respect and the highest standards permeate every interaction. Students are a pleasure to teach and you can always expect a “thank you miss” when students leave your classroom.

Joining Soane now is a unique opportunity to become part of a thriving, collaborative and growing team who all hold the highest expectations of student behaviour and effort and are all deeply committed to the success of our students and of the school.

About the role:

We are looking for an exceptional English teacher who cares deeply about the students they teach and prepared to hold students to account with strictness and warmth. You can look forward to joining a great working environment where students are bought in to the school’s ethos and typically work with great enthusiasm, diligence and gratitude towards their teachers.

You can look forward to joining an exceptionally warm, collaborative and experienced department. You can expect the highest levels of dedication and commitment from your students and unwavering support from the English department and the school leadership team in securing this.

Benefits of working at Ark Soane:

· Leaders at Soane prevent unnecessary demands on teacher time – meetings, marking and administrative tasks are minimised to ensure teachers can be highly effective. The curriculum and resourcing ensure that teachers rarely plan alone: staff time is used where it is most valuable: working as a team to implement the curriculum for the stud ents in our classrooms.

· We have a truly open-door culture where frequent low-stakes feedback is the norm. We value the input of all of our staff and collaborate to ensure the academy continues to improve as it expands. We frequently host teams of domestic and international educators who come to learn from us and help us shape our provision.

· Twice as many training days as standard

· Weekly staff training designed to meet the needs of the school

· Coaching for every teacher

· Protected co-planning time

· Access to high-quality, regular professional development
