How is Ark Greenwich different?

•        We are part of the Ark family of schools and benefit accordingly from outstanding networking and career opportunities and first-class CPD. 

•        Staff wellbeing is one of our main priorities. We provide breakfast for staff each morning, lunch for early careers staff and have a 6pm/weekend work-related communication cut off. We do not do knee jerk reactions, fads or last-minute deadlines. Our systems and processes for communication, marking and feedback and assessment are streamlined and the approaches we take are research led and based on our local context. Our full approach to staff wellbeing/workload can be found  here . 

•        This is a small school model (600 scholars aged 11-16) because we believe that our close-knit family community provides the optimum conditions for success.  

•        Scholar behaviour is exceptional with clearly defined and embedded routines. This means our teachers can focus their time on the things that matter – planning and delivering brilliant lessons for our scholars. 

•        This is a strict no excuses, no mobile phone school. Phones are not permitted onsite at all. Scholars wear business dress to prepare them for a professional career. 

•        Our curriculum is traditional and academic, and we do not take shortcuts to seek to boost our position in school league tables – we do not, for example, offer equivalencies such as Btecs or Vcerts. 80-90% Ebacc entry rate each year.   

•        We put high-quality teaching at the heart of what we do. We are committed to providing staff with weekly high-quality training. We run coaching for staff who want to see rapid progress in their discipline. Live coaching and current best practice in the field of education is central to our approach. 

•        We don’t grade individual lessons or ask for lesson plans but we do place a primacy on curriculum design, independent learning and formative assessment.

•        Our scholars enjoy a compulsory co-curricular program on a Wednesday afternoon which includes a strong focus on community volunteering and we facilitate 12 drop-down days per academic year ensuring scholars benefit from a range of life-enriching experiences. 

Alignment with the school’s vision, values and approach to education is essential.

The Role

 The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills, an enhanced attention to detail and the ability to work on their own initiative. Ideally, you will also have experience working in a school environment, but this is not essential.
