Job overview

Ark Byron recently opened in September 2015 and are already on their way to becoming an outstanding school in the community.

Ark Byron Primary Academy is a two form entry primary school situated in brand-new facilities in Acton. As part of our expansion programme, we are now looking for more dynamic and bright Primary Teachers to join the founding team across all phases for September 2016.

This academic year Ark Byron is based on the top floor of its sister school, Ark Priory, rated “outstanding” by Ofsted in June 2015. Next year Ark Byron will move a short distance away to a brand new, purpose-built building in a fantastic park setting - almost unheard of for inner London!

If you are looking for an opportunity to contribute to the curriculum, propel a new school forward, and be part of a child’s development at a crucial time in their life, we would love to hear from you.

Ark Byron Academy works closely with its sister school Ark Priory to provide the best possible education and experience, whilst also expecting the highest standards, from staff, pupils and parents. Strong candidates will also be considered for opportunities within Ark Priory Academy. Please see our candidate information pack for additional information.

There are plenty of opportunities for career progression. Subject and phase leaders will be offered attractive terms. This will also provide access to regular training and coaching, excellent facilities and resources and an arena to regularly share best practice.

We offer our teachers a supportive, challenging environment, coupled with a strong CPD programme. If appointed you will be able to take on additional responsibility in a variety of areas depending upon your experience and interests, including subject leadership.

Our ideal candidate will:

  • be a positive role model for the pupils in your care
  • believe in the potential of every child and be committed to seeing that every child reaches that potential.
  • be able to inspire learning beyond the classroom, ensuring that learning doesn’t stop once the school day ends
  • possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of Acton residents.
  • drive innovative practices, using and applying technology in and beyond the classroom.

Our core values are explore, endeavour and excel. Our teachers encourage pupils’ curiosity by developing activities which facilitate the exploration of the urban environment. Ark Byron have started their "Park School" where they visit Acton Park for outdoor learning on one afternoon each week. We take great pride in the diversity of our student body, celebrating all backgrounds and cultures, learning Mandarin, visiting London Central Mosque and experiencing Djembe, violin and recorder even at an early age.

If you are an outstanding individual who has the relentless drive, boundless enthusiasm and the resilience for a challenging but rewarding new opportunity please submit an application today.

Please call for a visit if you wish to discuss this application further.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Jacqueline Steele
Executive Principal
