Fantastic opportunity to join a ‘Good’ school 

Ark Putney Academy opened in September 2012 as part of the Ark network in the London Borough of Wandsworth.  We are a mixed school with 900 students, ranging from year 7 through to a very successful sixth form. We have a strong ethos, results are excellent and every year we send large numbers of students to some of the best universities, including Oxbridge.

In our 2017 OFSTED inspection we were rated ‘Good’ in every category.

We’re now looking to appoint a dynamic and effective Cover Supervisor to supervise whole classes during the short-term absence of teachers.  The role will include giving instructions for the lesson and ensuring good order is maintained and all students are kept on task. You will be instrumental in our mission to provide every student, regardless of their background, a great education and real choices in life.

Our ideal candidate will:

• Communicate, distribute and supervise work that has been set by the teacher

• Manage the behaviour of pupils whilst they work to ensure a constructive environment

• Collect any completed work after the lesson and return it to the appropriate teacher

• Report back to the teacher as appropriate using the school’s agreed referral procedures on the behaviour of pupils during the class, and any issues arising

• Promote the inclusion of all pupils within the classroom, being aware of and supporting difference, to ensure all pupils have equal access to opportunities to learn and develop

• Liaise with heads of department to provide support for the department when cover is not required

• To assist in the evaluation of the impact of covered lessons on pupils and throughout the school

• Be committed to Ark Putney’s ethos of high expectations

If you share our commitment to excellence, we want to hear from you!

Please submit your application by 9.00am on Wednesday 13 July

Interviews will take place on a rolling basis so early application is advised

Values and vision

At Ark Putney we have a holistic view of educating young people. Our mission statement is;

Preparing every student to be a pillar of any community

By this we mean that we are focusing on developing students to be the very best they can be in all aspects of their lives  not only through academic progress but also by developing the soft skills that will enable students to be successful in the world such as good manners and the ability to speak confidently combined with the desire to participate through sport, the arts and contributing to charity and community projects.

This can be illustrated by our core purpose, which is to provide students with:

  • An appreciation and curiosity for life and learning
  • The courage and ambition  to unlock and fulfil their potential
  • A desire to contribute to society in a positive way
  • A sense of self –awareness, combined with the integrity  to be compassionate towards others


The main drivers for this are our Six Pillars as listed below. These permeate academy life and can be seen in everything that we do, think and say at APA. They are also a focus of our assemblies, reflections and tutorial activities. They help to guide us in how we behave, what we do and what kind of people we want to be:

  • Effort
  • Team work
  • Community
  • Enthusiasm
  • Commitment
  • Independence

In March 2017, Ofsted rated the academy as good in every category and highlighted our students’ progress and achievement at GCSE and in sixth form. The full report can be read here.
