Values and vision 

Ark Kings Academy has been named the most improved academy in the country. It draws its ethos from its parent charity, Ark Schools, which was founded with the intention of providing high-quality education to students from deprived and disadvantaged backgrounds, thus reducing the gap between them and pupils from wealthier backgrounds. 

As well as the development of pupils, Ark Kings Academy also focuses on the development of staff, providing an increased number of training days for teachers as well as additional support in order to aid their professional success.   

Ofsted report 

“Leaders ensure that disadvantaged pupils are well supported. Disadvantaged pupils make similar rates of progress to other pupils nationally … Relationships between pupils and teachers are good. This reflects pupils’ enjoyment of the learning experiences they have in school."
