Opportunity for an exceptional candidate to join our highly successful maths department, shaping a new Ark secondary school in Ealing.

Ark Soane Academy is a new secondary school in Acton which opened in September 2021 to 180 year 7 students. We will continue to grow by 180 students each year until reaching full capacity in 2028.

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.

Our teachers are supported to uphold the very highest standards of behaviour through centralised systems, and to teach exceptional lessons through shared planning.

The role

We are recruiting an exceptional team of staff to support the growth of a genuinely transformational school. The successful candidates will join a very strong maths department and will work closely with the Head of Department to shape maths provision at the school, embed the school vision and develop an outstanding school that empowers our students to take responsibility and drive their own destinies.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to grow with the school. They will be supported in their development and preparation for future roles. Teaching experience will not be a determining factor - we welcome applications from NQTs as well as more experienced candidates. We will develop every staff member that joins our team, providing one-to-one support, coaching and mentoring and access to extensive network training.

Ark Soane Academy is part of Ark, one of the UK's most successful school groups, with a network of 37 schools in 4 locations across the country.

As a proud member of the network, we offer:

• 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
• Opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across the network.

You will:

• Have an unwavering determination to deliver excellence for students from all starting points
• Share the Ark Soane beliefs, vision and mission and be aligned with the Ark six pillars underpinning it
• Be committed to Ark's ethos of high expectations for every student in both academic achievement and personal development.
• Be committed to continually improving classroom practice and raising attainment.
• Manage behaviour effectively to create a positive, calm and purposeful climate for learning
• Have the drive, skills and resilient character required to help develop a new school
• Combine subject matter expertise with a passion for teaching your subject
• Be reflective about the Academy and committed to securing its continued development
• Value and support practices driving continued progress across the network of Ark schools
