Exciting opportunity to join an exceptional school in north London.
At Ark John Keats Academy, we believe that all students should have access to a rigorous science curriculum that helps them to develop a deep understanding of the world around them, and sets them up to be successful and active participants in society. Science is a popular subject at AJK and we are continuing to expand our provision at KS5 to meet the level of interest in science related career paths and degree courses. We offer Biology, Chemistry and Physics A-Level as well as Applied Science Level 3 BTEC, which forms part of our Ark Professional Pathways programme.
We aspire for all our children to have the academic knowledge necessary to enable them to progress to university, 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.
Ark John Keats is part of Ark Schools, a hugely successful network serving pupils from deprived communities. Our network shares a belief in our six pillars:
High expectations: we have high expectations of ourselves and for what our children can achieve
Excellent teaching: great teaching is what transforms children’s attainment and opens door for the future.
Exemplary behaviour: children can and should be taught to behave well, following instructions first time, every time, without question.
Depth for breadth: with a curriculum that encompasses the best of what has been thought and said ensuring our pupils have the knowledge and cultural capital to thrive in the classroom and beyond.
Knowing every child: we get to know and care deeply about each of our pupils as individuals.
Always learning we expect pupils to always learn, but also for our staff to continually develop their professional expertise, supported by Ark’s broad professional development offer.
At Ark John Keats, we believe in rigour – our curriculum is full of challenge, and we know that our children are intellectually resilient and capable of learning lots in every subject no matter what their starting point.
We believe in exemplary behaviour – we have sky high standards and support all children to reach these, by focusing on developing pupils’ self-regulation, explicitly teaching pupils how to behave, and by working closely with families.
We believe in the limitless potential of all children – if children work hard, there are no limits to what they can achieve.

· A degree in one of the sciences and good A levels, or the equivalent.
· Understanding of, and alignment with, our six pillars
· High standards of professionalism
