Hear from our teachers
Mohamed, Primary Teacher and Community Engagement Lead
"I began working for Ark in Ark Chamberlain’s last year before the birth of Ark Victoria. Ark is a highly reputable academy trust and what drew me to applying to this school were a number of factors. The Ark pillars really resonated with me especially the consistently high expectations and drive for excellence in all areas that students and staff aspire to. Ark design and deliver fantastic CPD opportunities which have allowed me to become a better education practitioner and refined my teaching skills. Knowing every child is another key pillar that I hold onto dearly and is why I love working at Ark Victoria".
Lisa, Assistant Head Teacher & Early Years Lead
"I joined Ark Victoria Academy when it first opened in 2018 and was part of the amalgamation from Ark Chamberlain. Being an Early Years teacher, means playing a prime role in child development. We are shaping and forming our children's attitudes and characters to become life long learners. So there is no better place to do this than an all-through school like Ark Victoria, where we support and nurture every child through their educational journey from 3 to 16 years old".
Kaliphia, School Counsellor
Ark Victoria Academy is an "all through family school". It is an ethos that we have worked so hard to establish since we opened, and which we know is valued by our families. Ark Victoria provides pupils with a unique journey in their education through the curriculum and wide range of opportunities that we offer as an all through school. We support and empower all staff and pupils to become ambitious, resilient, and kind citizens who understand their role in our community and the wider world. Pupils leave us with the skills and qualifications to continue their journey of life-long learning in a university or career of their choice.
Dean, Director of English/ATT operational lead
The ongoing professional development of our staff is one of our top priorities, at every level and in every role. We offer twice the number of training days as standard, and staff benefit from weekly CPD, including subject-specific CPD, as well as bespoke coaching and network-wide opportunities. No matter what stage of your career you’re at, we’ll support you to be the best that you can be.
A diverse and inclusive school
We have committed to delivering a series of commitments as part of a longer-term diversity and inclusion strategy.
