About The Role
We are recruiting an exceptional team of staff to support the next stage of development of a genuinely transformational school. We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate the highest expectations of student effort and conduct, and do so with kindness and warmth. The successful candidates will join a very strong RE department and will work collaboratively to shape history provision, embed the school vision, and develop an outstanding school that empowers our students to take responsibility and drive their own destinies. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to grow with the school, receiving support in their development and preparation for future roles. Teaching experience is not a determining factor – we welcome applications from NQTs as well as more experienced candidates. We will develop every staff member that joins our team, providing one‑to‑one support, coaching, mentoring, and access to extensive network training.
Benefits
- Leaders at Soane prevent unnecessary demands on teacher time – meetings, marking and administrative tasks are minimised to ensure teachers can be highly effective. The curriculum and resourcing ensure that teachers rarely plan alone: staff time is used where it is most valuable, working as a team to implement the curriculum for the students in our classrooms.
- We have a truly open‑door culture where frequent low‑stakes feedback is the norm. We value the input of all staff and collaborate to ensure the academy continues to improve as it expands. We frequently host teams of domestic and international educators who come to learn from us and help us shape our provision.
- Twice as many training days as standard.
- Weekly staff training designed to meet the needs of the school.
- Coaching for every teacher.
- Protected co‑planning time.
- Access to high‑quality, regular professional development.

About Us
We are a new secondary school in Acton that opened in 2021. We will have 720 students in Years 7‑10 from September 2024 and will launch our GCSE programmes for the first time. Ark Soane seeks to redefine what is possible in education. Our model is “simplicity delivered expertly”: by delivering an immaculately planned and highly academic curriculum exceptionally well, and by providing our students with a compelling aspiration‑raising ethos we strive to transform the future of students in a highly deprived community. Behaviour at Soane is exemplary, enabling you to deliver exceptional lessons. Students are entirely bought‑in to the values and ethos of the school and know that they are fortunate to attend a school where the quality of education is exceptional, and love, warmth, respect and the highest standards permeate every interaction.
Diversity And Inclusion
We aim to build a diverse and inclusive organisation where everyone – staff and students – can do their best work and achieve their full potential. We reflect and represent diverse perspectives across our organisation, believing that this makes us stronger and more effective.
