Ark Teacher Training

Ark Teacher Training is part of the international charity, Ark, which aims to give every young person a great education and real choices in life. Ark Teacher Training exists to ensure all children, regardless of their background, have access to a high-quality education.

We do this by recruiting bright, motivated graduates and training them to become excellent teachers in a school in our network. Our programme incorporates gaining a PGCE qualification and QTS in your training year, and progressing onto our two-year Early Career Teacher (ECT) programme to continue to build on the skills, theory and practice that you have already learnt.

Working in the areas of greatest need across four regions makes for a significant challenge, but we are passionate about what we do. All our trainees are supported through our challenging programme by a strong network of experienced educators. In January 2022, our training was rated as ‘outstanding in all areas’ by Ofsted.
