As of September 2023, Ark Swift and Ark Burlington Danes Primary are merging together to form Ark White City Primary Academy, to create a two-form entry school in a brand-new purpose-built and modern building which will form part of the EdCity development.
Ark Swift is at an exciting point on its ‘journey to excellence’ and we have ambitious plans to get us there. We know that great teachers make great schools, so we want to empower our teachers, as well as our pupils, to be able to achieve their very best, whilst having the support and guidance necessary to help them accomplish this.
At Ark Swift, our school vision is "Dream, Believe, Achieve" and we work hard throughout the school to realise this. We aim to create an inspiring school environment where students are excited to learn and teachers can focus on teaching. We want teachers and pupils to be able to achieve their very best, whilst having the support and guidance necessary to help them accomplish this.
Staff are given high levels of support and training to ensure they can have the biggest impact possible on our young learners. We provide regular staff workshops during assemblies and weekly twilight training sessions as well as access to a range of additional Ark network training such as the NQT programme and Hub Days with network leads.
As a Microsoft school, we are innovative in our use of technology in learning and are able to give our students access to cutting-edge technology experiences in the classroom. Recently, they have taken part in "virtual field trips" such as "Skype the Expert" where they have had the opportunity to connect with a zoo in South Africa and taken a virtual tour of a research base in Antarctica!
Swift has a warm, welcoming environment and there is a strong caring relationship between the staff. The leadership team are understanding and adaptable and are dedicated to enabling all staff and students achieve their full potential. We have seen fantastic results since joining the Ark network, as reflected in our recent Ofsted inspection and are excited to continue of this journey to excellence.
