This is a unique opportunity to be part of showing what education can achieve. We commit to providing every pupil with a rigorous and transformational education because we believe it is the means to address educational disadvantage and lead the way on system change. We believe that it is possible for every child to meet our expectations and reach their full potential. They deserve to be believed in and to feel safe, happy and successful as a result of our shared work.

You will have the opportunity to shape culture in your year group by leading your year team to ensure superb outcomes for your pupils. The precise year group you would be working with would be based around the needs of the school at the time and we would expect a successful applicant to be capable of and willing to lead any year group in the future.

To discuss the role, please feel free to email the Principal's PA, Abi Saleh ( ) or phone on . Benefits We believe in aiming high, working together, being kind and leading the way.

About The Role Ark Soane Academy seeks to redefine what is possible in education: by insisting on the highest standards of behaviour; 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.

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.
