Be a part of an active community
We know that learning doesn’t just happen inside the classroom, our community of pupils, staff and parents are committed to providing opportunities beyond the traditional classroom setting. We are fundraising to create an open air classroom in our amazing garden and playground space. To raise money we are hosting a fantastic event, the Fork to Fork Food Festival bringing together some of London’s most talented and creative chefs, restaurateurs and producers. As a staff member you can be part of fantastic initiatives like these.

Make a difference where it matters the most
Ark schools are always based in the communities where we can make the biggest difference to children’s lives. We take on some of the most challenging schools in the country. Many of our schools have a history of academic under-achievement or are in areas of economic disadvantage. We have more than ten years' experience of successfully transforming schools, building outstanding new schools and improving the life chances of some of the most disadvantaged young people in the country.
As a part of our schools' network, you’ll work with colleagues from different subjects, schools and cities, and have the chance to take on network-wide responsibilities such as leading programmes or training.
Ark Network Days
Three times a year, people working in specific roles or subject areas get together to share best practice and deepen their subject knowledge with peers from across the Ark network.
Have an impact far beyond your own school
If you want to be part of the effort to advance and improve education, join Ark. From creating and working with new curricula and teaching techniques, to collaborating with other schools and partners to share what works, we’re always aiming for system change. Through Ark Ventures, we incubate, launch and scale initiatives, such as Mathematics Mastery, English Mastery, Institute for Teaching and Ambition School Leadership, that address some of the most intractable issues in education and society – in the UK and around the world.
