ARK All Saints Academy opened in September 2013 and moved into brand new accommodation in January 2014. We have built up the school year on year and are now full. This year we sit our first ever GCSEs. The academy is part of the ARK Schools network and a Church of England school whose only admission criteria is on distance. We welcome scholars of all faiths and none. We expect all members of our staffing body to support and uphold the moral ethos of our academy. At ARK All Saints our vision is for all members of our All Saints family to be confident, responsible, live with integrity and be successful. This will enable our scholars to continue in the next phase of their journey whether that is to university or in pursuing the career of their choice. The Head of PE will be a key member of staff. In this role, you will be responsible for developing an engaging and challenging curriculum that inspires children to appreciate PE and develop an interest in maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. In addition, you will develop a curriculum that has a theoretical focus looking at areas of the GCSE P.E. syllabus in preparation for Key Stage 4. You will organise and run extra-curricular activities, sports clubs/events and help to ensure that the academy’s vision of high standards, academic and extracurricular achievement is upheld. The PE department aims to promote physical activity while developing scholars physical skills and attributes. Scholars currently experience a variety of sports including football, netball, athletics, basketball and badminton and we have ambitions to offer trampolining, cricket, boxing and rugby in the future. We have a vision to create a rich enrichment programme that provides opportunities for our scholars to compete in a wide range of these sports. This role is ideally suited to a dedicated individual with high ambitions for scholars, who will both create a healthy balance of competition and participation in sports. It offers a fantastic opportunity to use new ideas and initiatives to mold a successful department and would suit a candidate who is looking to progress into a leadership position in the future. If you share our values and ethos and would like to work with supportive colleagues and benefit from unrivaled CPD, then we’d be delighted to hear from you.

About Ark All Saints Academy
Ark All Saints Academy is a four-form entry academy in Camberwell, south east London, which opened in 2013 as part of Ark Schools. We are a mixed Church of England school with strong values and a Christian ethos. We welcome children aged 11-16 of all faiths and none, and ask that all members of our family respect each other’s faiths and participate in all aspects of academy life.
Our four key values are integrity, responsibility, confidence and success. Hence, it is our aim to ensure both students and teachers are confident, responsible, successful and honest in every aspect of our school’s systems. This will enable our scholars to be well prepared for the next phase of their life, whether that is to go to university or in pursuing the career of their choice. Ark All Saint Academy aims to treat pupils as individuals and is keen to work with parents to develop and nurture the talents of each pupil. We want our students to succeed academically and socially.
As part of this preparation we expect scholars to manage their path to success. We believe that creating a supportive environment will help them immensely in that. Hence we make sure everyone at our school knows and follows our safeguarding and behaviour policies. The latter outlines what is appropriate conduct, that will allow each scholar to be successful each day. We believe that good and positive behaviour is achieved through relationships and an understanding of the impact that this has on individuals. At Ark All Saints we expect all scholars to behave well, all the time. There are no excuses for poor behaviour.
At All Saints, we have created a caring and collaborative environment throughout our school and encourage our teachers to support and help each other. We hold staff development in high regard and offer twice the standard number of training days – including our network-wide ‘Hub Days’ where peers join together to learn and share best practice. There are also opportunities for online training and bespoke learning and mentoring programmes. Please see our six points on what it's like to work at Ark All Saints Academy.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed back from the intended end point - enabling students to reach university. Ark All Saints Academy specialises in Mathematics and all Year 7 and 8 scholars follow the Mathematics Mastery programme. At KS3 there is a strong emphasis on the teaching of core subjects, every scholar in the school, regardless of age or ability gets at least one lesson of Maths, English and Science every day. If scholars are behind in these subjects we will give them extra time and support so that they can catch up and keep up.
Ofsted report
Ark All Saints Academy was rated as good in our 2015 Ofsted inspection with outstanding areas, such as safety and behaviour of students.
"Achievement is improving in English, mathematics, science and several other subjects. Teachers focus on scholars understanding work in depth and learning how to master problems. The provision for scholars’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding. Citizenship days extend scholars’ horizons, their awareness of how to be safe and their understanding of British values. Scholars are happy and proud to be part of the academy ‘family’. They feel safe and secure and behave extremely well. They value the tolerance and respect promoted by all staff."
