Ark Chamberlain Primary Academy will join the Ark network in September. The school, which was previously Oldknow Academy, is a 5 form entry junior school (ages 7-11) in Small Heath, Birmingham. Ark Chamberlain Primary will join Ark’s thriving hub of primary and secondary schools in Birmingham.

The school has much to be proud of, with a long reputation as an outstanding school in the city. The journey back to outstanding will be challenging and requires a talented leader who is able to inspire staff and students alike, while engaging with local stakeholders to make sure the school is the heart of its community, serving the needs of all its pupils.

A tenacious and innovative leader, you will share our belief that an excellent education is central to transforming young people’s lives. You will combine an extensive track record of raising standards with a flair for developing talent. You will be given every opportunity to collaborate, share ideas and contribute to the development of our primary curriculum across the entire network.

You will be supported every step of the way by committed trustees and one of the country’s top performing academy networks.
