Guided by our values of Excellence, Friendship, Courage and Determination, Ark White City Primary Academy strives to build a community committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. Our values are important to us and we will ensure that we promote them and recognise where others ‘live the Ark White City Primary Academy values’.
Ark White City Primary Academy offers a genuinely exciting opportunity for teachers who want to work in a school with both strong moral purpose and exceptional potential. Opened in September 2023, the academy brings together two existing schools as one two-form entry primary in a brand-new building at EdCity in the heart of White City. Staff benefit from a thoughtfully designed environment with excellent resources, including flexible breakout spaces, specialist areas and high-quality outdoor provision. As part of Ark, colleagues also benefit from a culture of personalised professional development, high expectations and continual learning, making this an excellent setting for teachers who want to refine their practice and grow as leaders.
Ark White City is a growing and ambitious school community built on a belief that every child can succeed. We are a happy and welcoming school where pupils are well cared for, relationships are strong and children feel safe, known and valued. Our mission is rooted in ensuring that all pupils, regardless of background, develop the knowledge, confidence and character to go on to lead successful lives. Staff work collaboratively and with purpose, united by a shared commitment to securing excellent outcomes for every child. This is a school where the work is meaningful, the expectations are high and the opportunity to make a lasting difference is real.

Safeguarding statement:
Ark is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in its academies. In order to meet this responsibility, its academies follow a rigorous selection process to discourage and screen out unsuitable applicants.
Ark requires all employees to undertake an enhanced DBS check. You are required, before appointment, to disclose any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975. Non-disclosure may lead to termination of employment. However, disclosure of a criminal background will not necessarily debar you from employment - this will depend upon the nature of the offence(s) and when they occurred.
