Ark Charter Academy
Ark Charter Academy opened its doors in September 2009. Our ambition is to offer our students outstanding academic opportunities. Ark Charter Academy is a Church of England, mixed, non-selective school, offering places to 11 to 16 year olds.
We believe that every young person should feel a sense of belonging to our school community and enjoy their learning. To achieve this we work in close collaboration with our families.
Our school is part of Ark, an international charity transforming lives through education. Ark has 39 schools across the UK in Birmingham, Hastings, London and Portsmouth. Ark exists to give every young person, regardless of their background, a great education and real choices in life. Ark schools are all non-selective and in areas where they can make the biggest difference.

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.
