Ark John Keats is looking to appoint an exceptional candidate to the post of Primary Headteacher.
The role:
This is an incredible opportunity to lead the primary phase of this all-through school during the next stage of its development. You will be responsible for providing an outstanding education for all pupils in the primary. You will also work closely with the senior team in both primary and secondary phases to establish outstanding teaching and learning and an excellent school culture. As part of an all-through school this opportunity is well suited to first time heads who have strong and significant leadership experience.

Ideal candidates will:

Ark requires all employees to undertake an enhanced DBS check. You are required, before appointment, to disclose any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975. Non-disclosure may lead to termination of employment. However, disclosure of a criminal background will not necessarily debar you from employment - this will depend upon the nature of the offence(s) and when they occurred.

Ark John Keats was founded in 2013 with one class of reception children. We are now a fully-fledged all-through school, running from nursery to year 13, with over 1,700 children. Our primary school is three-form entry and is oversubscribed, with a waiting list for every year group. Our community is composed of supportive and committed families who buy into our vision and work with us to ensure their children achieve all they are capable of in the future.
Our long-term ambition is to take children from age 3 in our nursery to age 18, and our primary school will set our children up for a lifetime of success and opportunity. We aspire for all our children to have the academic knowledge necessary to enable them to progress to university or into the career of their choice, for pupils to have a love of learning and curiosity about the world, and for them to be polite, well-mannered young people who take responsibility for their choices and drive their own destinies.
