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.

We look forward to welcoming the next generation of children who are excited and motivated by that prospect.
Aims, Vision and Values

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.
