Ark Evelyn Grace Academy

Ark Evelyn Grace Academy is an 11-16 mixed secondary school, located at the heart of the London Borough of Lambeth. We are a community school, with high aspirations, working with and for our families to empower our students to be the voice of their future.

Through providing a nurturing environment, a high-quality education and a wide range of experiences and opportunities, EGA enables all our young people to have choices over the direction of their lives.

EGA's mission statement is based on the belief each young person is different and difference should be embraced. It is based on the belief each young person has a unique contribution to make and should be given a voice. Through finding their voice, young people can lead empowered lives where they have choice, agency and influence. EGA are focused on the future as we want their young people, to be the face of it.

There is no limit, with hard work, optimism and perseverance, to what the young people at EGA can achieve. We look forward to welcoming you.

Teacher training

Ark Teacher Training (ATT) is a school-based programme offering the perfect mixture of theory and classroom practice to develop you into the best teacher you can be. Because we believe that every child, regardless of their background, deserves to have access to a great education, we work mainly in communities of lower income with a history of academic underachievement. We are very proud to have just received our second ‘outstanding’ rating from Ofsted in all categories! There are only a few ITTs in the UK that can say the same
