About the role:

Ark John Keats is looking to appoint an Assistant Principal to join our leadership team for a fixed period to cover a maternity leave, and to take on the leadership of Teaching & Learning in that time. You would be joining a highly ambitious team of leaders and teachers at a pivotal point in the school’s journey as we build on the foundations of our school and continue to expand our numbers in KS5 and curriculum provision in all key stages. We are looking for an experienced school leader who is ready to lead at senior level, and who can drive strategic focus areas as well as contribute to the day to day running of the school. We welcome applicants with a range of areas of expertise, and the exact roles and responsibilities will be determined by the needs of the school and the specific experiences and abilities of the successful candidate.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of improving academic systems and processes that lead to the improvement of teaching and learning, as well as the ability to develop leaders and teachers and lead strategically on whole school initiatives.

Why us?

At Ark John Keats, you will be joining a committed team of professionals. You will benefit from one to one coaching on your teaching no matter what stage of development you are at, because we believe all teachers deserve to get better every year. You will have ten days of CPD over the course of the year. We have a no-email policy after 6pm or at weekends to safeguard work/life balance for our team, and a free gratitude breakfast for all staff on Fridays to share our appreciation for each other
