We are an all-through school serving the local community with pupils from Nursery - Year 11. Our mission is to create a school in which every child thrives, academically and socially.

Over the past 2 years we have made remarkable progress, moving from an Inadequate Ofsted rating to a Good. This achievement reflects the dedication and hard work of our staff with Ofsted commenting that pupils “understand the high expectations that staff have for them and strive to meet with”. The strengths of our school include:

• Behaviour: Our pupils know the school rules of, ‘ready, respectful and safe’ and demonstrate these qualities in their behaviour towards each other and their teachers.
• An ambitious curriculum: Our well-sequenced curriculum, spanning early years to Year 11, ensures that all pupils, including those with special educational needs, receive a high-quality education.
• Reading strength: Our effective teaching strategies empower pupils to become fluent readers, setting them up for success in their academic journey.
• Personal development: At Ark Kings Academy, we prioritize personal development, preparing our pupils for their future roles as responsible citizens.
• Attendance: Our pupils and parents recognise the importance of high attendance, and at secondary, we sit above the national average.
