Welcome to Ark Academy

Our ambition is to ensure that our pupils develop as high achieving, confident, articulate young people whose education fully equips them to go on to university or the career of their choice.

We will work hard and expect our pupils to work equally hard to achieve these goals but we also need the total commitment and support of our pupils’ families.

We will provide the highest quality teaching and resources, provide support where it’s needed and stretch and challenge every pupil to do the best they can.

You will see our motto, “Civitas”, around the school. We are first and foremost citizens and this is what binds us together. We want our pupils to grow into well rounded, confident, ambitious young people, who aspire to personal high achievement and to making their mark on the world.

As the founding Principal of Ark Academy I am conscious of the rare privilege and opportunity it is to launch a new school. I am absolutely committed to enabling our pupils to achieve their highest ambitions. I believe we will create a wonderful school that will offer our pupils enormous opportunities. I look forward to working with you and your son or daughter to build a really great school.
