Ark Putney Academy
Ark Putney Academy opened in September 2012 as part of the Ark Schools network in the London Borough of Wandsworth. We’re a mixed school with 950 students, ranging from year 7 through to our successful sixth form, which has 200 students and is renowned in the local area. Our student body is diverse and we celebrate all backgrounds and cultures. We have a strong ethos, results are excellent and every year we send large numbers of students to some of the best universities, including Oxbridge.
We adopt a holistic view to educating young people. Through our commitment to inclusion, equality and attainment, we prepare every student to be a pillar of any community.
In our November 2022 OFSTED inspection, we were rated ‘Good’ in every category with real strengths in teaching and learning, curriculum breadth and personal development.

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.
