Top quality professional development at every level

Ark Teacher Training is an ‘Outstanding’ Initial Teacher Training programme that allows graduates and career changers to learn from some of the best teachers and leaders in the profession. Unlike a university-based PGCE, you will be based in a school from day one, having an impact straight away. You’ll spend the whole academic year with your students watching them progress, as well as seeing your own development.

We know your first few years as a teacher are crucial for your development. That’s why we’ve used our expertise in teacher training and development to create a supportive two-year Early Career Teacher programme.

We know that classroom teachers are the ones with the power to make a difference and that’s why we’re committed to developing and supporting you throughout your career with high-quality professional learning and development opportunities.

We know that as a middle leader, not only do you have an impact in the classroom every day, but your leadership creates outstanding departments, inspires others and transforms learning environments. That’s why we’re committed to developing and supporting you to be both a great teacher and a great leader to have the greatest impact on the young people in our schools.

Great schools are made of great leaders and we know strong senior leadership is key to ensuring our students have access to a great education. Which is why we recognise the value of supporting and investing in our staff, at every stage of their career.

As school operations staff at an Ark school, you will be supported by not only leadership within school, but you’ll also be able to work alongside colleagues in other Ark schools to share best practice. In addition to this, you’ll benefit from the support, guidance and expertise of our dedicated network teams.

Our network team are a vital piece of the puzzle, working behind the scenes to help our schools and ventures thrive. From IT to finance, HR to data, as well as specialist education roles covering curriculum, assessment and training, there are a whole host of opportunities available allowing you to progress your career in a rewarding environment.
