About Ark Walworth Academy
At Ark Walworth Academy, we believe in the immense potential of each of our pupils and we are committed to giving them every possible opportunity to succeed. Every student should leave the academy with real choices: to continue into further and higher education or pursue the career of their choice. Ark Walworth Academy has been recognised by the Specialist Schools and Academy Trust for being one of the top 10 schools for value added in terms of 5 A*-C (including English and maths) improvement in the country.
Community
The Walworth community is a thriving and exciting one in the heart of London, providing unique opportunities for our students which we aim to explore both inside and outside the classroom. We are proud of the diversity of opportunity such a rich community provides us with, both in terms of academic pathways and enrichment opportunities, and we seek to maximise this for all within the Walworth Academy family of learners.
At Ark Walworth, our goal is to ensure our students go on to be successful adults, enabled to take up their place in the world, and confident in facing the challenges and opportunities that may bring. We look forward to welcoming the next generation of children who are excited and motivated by that prospect.
Aims, Vision and Values
The academy has high expectations for pupil behaviour and achievement and equally high expectations for the quality of teaching in the classroom. This means a common commitment to creating a respectful and orderly environment where teachers can teach and students can learn.
Ark Walworth Academy recognises the need to support every child – academically, socially and emotionally. Through a combination of rigorous and engaging classes and a variety of learning experiences outside of the classroom, students can enjoy the full range of opportunities.
The academy is shaped by its culture of inclusion and mutual respect, which encourages a close working relationship between students and staff. The academy is working hard to provide an inspirational and secure environment which recognises and celebrates success whilst challenging students to realise their full potential.
Ark Walworth Academy CARES
Commitment Maximum effort in everything you do – all the time with no excuses
Aspiration Always strive to be better, constantly reaching beyond your limits

Curriculum
Ark Walworth Academy's approach is “depth for breath”: the benefits of a broad curriculum depend on a sound foundation. Pupils are expected to reach or exceed their expected year level in English and mathematics as soon as possible. They believe passionately that this provides a strong foundation for every other subject and is critical for success at school and in life.
To achieve this, Ark Walworth Academy offers individualised support and gives all pupils access to a range of qualifications. Those making rapid progress have opportunities for early entry to exams. Where appropriate, pupils spend time in smaller groups or nurture classes that focus on numeracy and literacy.
