Ark Greenwich Free School
Ark is a leading education charity and one of the country’s top-performing academy operators. Ark is non-denominational and does not make any profit from running its schools.
Ark exists to make sure that all children, regardless of their background, have access to a great education and real choices in life. From working with just one school, Ark has since grown into a network of 39 schools in the UK - and is now recognised as one of the highest achieving academy groups in the country.
Ark Greenwich Free School was founded on a set of values and these inform all that we do. The school is unwavering in its commitment to these values; we expect every one of our scholars to live up to them every day. Ark Greenwich Free School is not a school where you can take a back seat and drift through your education; as a smaller-than-average school, we are a community of learners and we all hold each other to account for our actions and commitment.
We are building a great school for Greenwich that will hopefully serve many generations of young people and we look forward to welcoming you in the near future.

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
