    Ark Victoria is seeking to appoint an Assistant Headteacher for KS4 Achievement to join our secondary phase leadership team. You will take responsibility for the day-to-day management of the school alongside the Executive Principal, Head of School and extended leadership colleagues, maintaining the highest standards of behaviour and attainment.

    Our values mean a great deal to us and underpin all that we do, and so it is important that you are strongly aligned to our schools' vision, championing Ark Victoria's pledge of being Ambitious, Resilient and Kind as well as living by the Ark ethos and six pillars that enable us to achieve our mission.

    As a member of the senior leadership team, you will also be centrally involved in the overall leadership and management of the academy with particular focus on maintaining high achievement and outcomes for our KS4 students.

    As part of the Ark network, our staff benefit from strong links with the wider network; particularly with the other Ark schools in Birmingham. We harness expertise and build pastoral communities so that our teachers can learn from and collaborate with colleagues. As well as networking with colleagues in other Ark schools, our staff receive high quality training and support.

    If you are ready to add further value to our school and to join a brilliant school leadership team, then you will find this job extremely rewarding.

    About Ark Victoria Academy

    Aim high, be brave, be kind, keep learning

    Ark Victoria Academy is a high performing school across all key stages, providing pupils with a unique journey in their education through the curriculum, personal development programme, student experience offer and the vast range of opportunities that we are able to provide as an all-through school. 73% of all grades awarded at GCSE 2023 are grade 4 and above, against a national figure of 68%. 67% of students gained a grade 4 or above for English and maths. At KS2 82% of pupils gained the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, against a national figure of 59%. 87% of our pupils achieved the expected standard in reading and 85% in maths. Our provisional P8 score of +0.55, which based on last year's results would place us in the top 20% of all schools.

    Whilst being a large school, we are able to retain a family feel, to nurture our pupils through their schooling and ensure that they leave us with the skills and qualifications necessary to continue their journey of life-long learning in a university or career of their choice.

    It's for this reason that Ark Victoria Academy was judged 'Good' by Ofsted in May 2019, with a strong emphasis on expert subject knowledge from our teachers, strong teaching and leadership and a focus on excellence for our students and staff.
