About Ark Boulton Academy
A high-aspiration, inclusive secondary school in the heart of Birmingham
Welcome to Ark Boulton Academy, where we serve the children and families of Sparkhill, Birmingham. Our mission is to provide a quality education that empowers all individuals to flourish and make a positive contribution to their community, culture and wider society.
We are united by a simple belief: every child, regardless of background, deserves an excellent education and exceptional opportunities.
Our core values of respect, curiosity and perseverance reflect the ethos of our academy and support us in achieving our mission. We know that all children can and will achieve success as our staff work hard to nurture, support and provide challenge to make this a reality. We believe in the importance of developing character and in providing leadership opportunities for our pupils so that they can positively contribute to our school community and beyond, in line with our school mission. This sits alongside our unrelenting focus on excellence in the academic curriculum.
Not only will Ark Boulton pupils be confident securing the best academic outcomes possible, but they will also develop strength of character for which they will be recognised in society as kind, caring, respectful, and generous young adults.
We cannot do justice to this crucial undertaking alone. We are committed to working closely with parents, families, the local community, faith organisations, business, commerce, and education partners to meet the needs of the whole child.

“This is a supportive school with strong team ethics for departments to work closely together. I appreciate that there is a good push to build the character of students alongside their academics. It is a great place for those early in their career due to the immersive style of training. In my 6 years of teaching, this school has progressed my teaching more than any other school – it has made me a better teacher.”
- Sam, Maths teacher, Ark Boulton“The school is purposeful and well-led. The ethos is spectacular, and the curriculum is well designed and organised. We have created a warm and welcoming environment in the science department, with a strong focus on curriculum deep dive. I believe all new teachers need nurturing in order to develop their passion and love for the career, and as head of department I work hard to ensure this is provided consistently.”
