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 who can do so with kindness and warmth.
The successful candidates will join a very strong PE department and will work collaboratively to shape PE provision at the school, embed the school vision, and develop an outstanding school that empowers students to take responsibility and drive their own destinies.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to grow with the school. They will be supported in their development and preparation for future roles. Teaching experience is not a requirement — applications from NQTs and experienced candidates are welcome. We will support every staff member with one-to-one coaching, mentoring, and access to extensive training networks.

Ark Soane aims to redefine educational possibilities through a model of “simplicity delivered expertly”: delivering an academically rigorous curriculum and fostering a compelling ethos to transform students' futures in a highly deprived community.
Behaviour at Soane is exemplary, enabling teachers to deliver exceptional lessons. Students embrace the school’s values and ethos, and are appreciative of the high standards, warmth, and respect that define every interaction. Students are a pleasure to teach, often expressing gratitude as they leave the classroom.
