We believe education is transformational. That is why what we do matters and why we are always seeking to improve our practice. As a Mathematics Teacher at Evelyn Grace you will join me and together, we will shape and develop our academy, and thereby realise our ambitions in building an outstanding school.

Teaching is indeed a noble profession and to teach in a disadvantaged context is nobler still. However, to simply turn up and teach is never enough. Education is only transformational if every student has a consistent diet of six great lessons every single day. Great schools develop great teachers so that all students might secure the very best outcomes in their chosen subjects. Only then will our students be able to leave this school and compete for the very best positions in their chosen career.

I intend for Evelyn Grace to be the school of choice in the local community, whose reputation is centred on great teaching, exemplary behaviour and unrivalled opportunities beyond the classroom. This will only be achieved through our collective efforts.

As teachers we know that there is no substitute for hard work and this, above all else, will help our students understand and achieve excellence. We will help each student gain a firm knowledge and understanding so that the passion for their subjects grows and matches that of every one of us.

We are seeking to appoint a dedicated and enthusiastic individual who is passionate about education as a means of helping our students become cleverer and kinder every day. We believe that all our students can achieve excellence, no matter what their background and that they all deserve the very best teachers and resources to help them secure the very best qualifications. Accordingly, the Academy offers a rigorous curriculum and a broad enrichment programme for students at all key stages.

Schools are not just a place of learning; they are a journey of self-discovery, intellectual enquiry and growth. That should be as true for every member of staff as it is our students. However, this goal is only possible if we work consistently and in harmony.

Join us in our journey towards excellence for all.

Yours faithfully,

Tim Dainty

Principal

Ark Evelyn Grace Academy is an 11-16 mixed secondary school, located at the heart of the London Borough of Lambeth. We are a community school and part of the Ark Network. Our mission statement is to empower our students to be the voice of their future. This is based on the belief that each young person is different, difference should be embraced, and each young person has a unique contribution to make and should be given a voice. Through finding their voice, young people can lead empowered lives where they have choice, agency and influence. We are focused on the future as we want our young people to be the face of it.

Supporting our mission is our Culture Compass which sets out the values that drive the work that we do creating a shared sense of purpose.

Through providing a nurturing environment, a high-quality education and a wide range of experiences and opportunities, we enable all our young people to have choices over the direction of their lives. We want our young people to be heard, be seen and be their best, making significant progress in school and securing high quality destinations so that they reach their full potential.

School Structure

The school has a small leadership team that comprises of the Principal, two Vice Principals and two Assistant Principals. Each subject area is lead by a Head of Department and year groups are led by a Director of Learning (Head of Year).

Aims, Vision and Values

Our Culture Compass sets out the values that drive what we do and who we are. Community sits at the centre as the work we do is with and for our students, our families, and our wider community.

Ambition: We believe in setting goals for ourselves and working hard to achieve them. We aim to be and do our very best, in all environments.

Integrity: We do the right thing and are honest about our words and actions.

Professionalism: We have high standards of ourselves and are consistent in our approach to them.

Perseverance: We know that success comes from hard work. We believe in working through difficulties and see challenge as an opportunity to grow and learn.
