As part of the Ark network, one of the country's most successful Multi Academy Trusts, you will also gain access to a wealth of wider opportunities for professional growth and training. Whether you are an experienced Vice Principal seeking a new challenge or an ambitious Assistant Principal ready for the next step, this is a role where you can have a profound and lasting impact at KSA. Our ideal candidate will have: Experience of highly effective senior leadership in a high-performing school Experience of delivering exceptional pupil progress as a teacher and a leader Experience of leading, managing and coaching staff at a senior level and with a proven track record of success Experience of leading a high performing team within a complex school environment To apply, please visit our website via the button below. The deadline to apply is on 23rd February 2026. Please note we will be reviewing applications on an on-going basis, and this advert may close earlier than advertised depending on the level of response. Early application is advised. To discuss the role, please feel free to email the Principal's PA, Abigail Saleh. ( ) or phone on . Benefits We believe in aiming high, working together, being kind and leading the way. Through weekly individual coaching, year group intellectual preparation time and whole school PD, we invest in your growth and development as a teacher to ensure you can excel in creating the best possible climate for learning for our pupils to thrive in. Through our approach to professional development we can promise a successful candidate a positive and rewarding journey of growth.

Find out more about the benefits of working for Ark at arkonline.org/careers/why-work-with-us/ About Us We are a genuine all-through school, with our pupils staying with us from nursery to sixth form across two sites, ten minutes-walk apart. Because of this, we have a unique opportunity to have a long term and dramatic impact on our pupils' lives. This all starts in our primary school, where our pupils develop, and grow a love of learning. We have a strong track-record as a school in making a significant impact on our pupils' lives. We adopt a mastery approach in primary, meaning that our pupils have more time and explicit teaching of the skills and concepts that underpin long term success in academics, enriched by a varied and cultural capital enhancing curriculum which inspires and engages our pupils. Our specialist teaching model allows pupils to benefit from expert teaching in PE, music, art, humanities and science and means all staff have time to plan each subject properly. In September 2019 we merged with Ark Paddington Green Academy and combined to form one all-through King Solomon Academy with Nursery-Year 4 on our Younger Years Site (Crompton Street) and Year 5 - Year 13 on the Older Years Site (Penfold Street).
