Ark Victoria Academy

'I really love the family atmosphere here at Ark Victoria. There is a real culture of positivity where staff are encouraged and supported to be the best possible teachers we can be.'

We are an all through family school in the heart of Small Heath, Birmingham.

We support our pupils to become ambitious, kind and resilient citizens who understand their role in the community and the wider world. Pupils leave us with the skills and qualifications to continue their life long love of learning, at university or a career of their choice.

With Ark Teacher Training you’ll be based at school from day one so you can watch your students grow over an entire academic year. We have been rated 'Outstanding' by OFSTED, 2022 and you'll join our highly-rated Summer School, have weekly training sessions, placements in different schools and lots of pastoral support from not just your school, but our Ark network.
