"Every child deserves a great education and excellent teaching can make that happen. I decided I wanted to be a part of that" Amin, Ark Teacher Training Graduate

You will be training to be a Maths Teacher - this is a great opportunity to train to teach outstanding lessons and therefore help pupils achieve excellent academic results in Maths.

In this role, you will engage in rigorous and continuous professional development in order to exceed the minimum level of practice expected of teachers as defined in the Teachers' Standards.

Ark is a charity that aims to transform children's lives through education. In the UK, the strongest predictor of how a child will do at school continues to be what their parents do for a living - but why should this be the accepted status quo? By working in our network at one of our 39 schools, you will be directly making a positive impact on young people's lives through high-quality teaching that sensitively considers all children's backgrounds and needs; making educational equity a reality.

Ark Teacher Training (ATT) is a school-based programme offering the perfect mixture of theory and classroom practice to develop you into the best teacher you can be. Because we believe that every child, regardless of their background, deserves to have access to a great education, we work mainly in communities of lower income with a history of academic underachievement. We are very proud to have received our second 'outstanding' rating from Ofsted in all categories! There are only a few ITTs in the UK that can say the same.
