About Ark:

Ark is a charity that aims to transform children’s lives through education. In the UK, the strongest predictor of how a child will do at school continues to be what their parents do for a living – but why should this be the accepted status quo? By working in our network at one of our 39 schools, you will be directly making a positive impact on young people’s lives through high-quality teaching and thoughtful consideration of all backgrounds and needs, making educational equity a reality.

About Ark Teacher Training:

We are very proud to have just received our second ‘outstanding’ rating from Ofsted in all categories! There are only a few ITTs in the UK that can say the same. Alongside this, our programme is also incredibly supportive and bespoke, as you will see below.

Key responsibilities:

To engage in daily professional development activities
To plan, resource and deliver lessons to the highest possible standard that ensure learning and progress of all pupils
To provide a nurturing classroom and academy environment that helps pupils to develop as learners
To help to maintain/establish discipline across the whole school
To contribute to the effective working of the school
