Contract: Full-time hours, permanent contract

Ark Acton Academy is on an incredible improvement journey and we are sowing the seeds of greatness for our local community. However, there is still much to do and we are looking for an expert leader of MFL who can help drive us forwards. You will share our firm belief in the importance of MFL as an academic discipline and you will want to join a school that invests in its staff.

We place the curriculum at the heart of the academy and it informs all decisions we make. We are looking for someone who shares our belief in disciplinary thinking and who will help improve and refine our curriculum thinking and build a really impressive MFL department.

At Ark Acton we have stripped away anything we feel gets in the way of being a great teacher so that we can focus on the main thing. This includes:

• Feedback policies that sit at department level
• No graded lesson observations
• No report writing
• No parent’s evenings
• Only 2 data points a year
• No ½ termly data metrics to track progress
• Protected Department meeting time built into the timetable
• Two protected co-planning slots a week built into staff loadings to provide space for curricular discussions.

We are heavily committed to staff welfare and development and this includes:

• weekly staff training
• Coaching for every teacher
• each member of staff has a personal development pathway to help ensure they have the feedback and space necessary to keep improving
• free use of our leisure centre
• access to the school counsellor
• access to Ark schools network and support.

We place the curriculum – what we teach – at the heart of the academy and it informs all decisions we make. We are looking for someone who shares our belief in disciplinary thinking and who will help improve and refine our curriculum thinking. In the words of Alex Standish we believe that “school subjects then are a way of inducting children into the intellectual habits of humankind, and hence into a disciplinary conversation about knowing our world” and we are looking for someone who shares this belief to join our team.
