About Ark All Saints Academy
Ark All Saints Academy is a four-form entry academy in Camberwell, south east London, which opened in 2013 as part of Ark Schools. We are a mixed Church of England school with strong values and a Christian ethos. We welcome children aged 11-16 of all faiths and none, and ask that all members of our family respect each other’s faiths and participate in all aspects of academy life.
Our four key values are integrity, responsibility, confidence and success. Hence, it is our aim to ensure both students and teachers are confident, responsible, successful and honest in every aspect of our school’s systems. This will enable our scholars to be well prepared for the next phase of their life, whether that is to go to university or in pursuing the career of their choice. Ark All Saint Academy aims to treat pupils as individuals and is keen to work with parents to develop and nurture the talents of each pupil. We want our students to succeed academically and socially.
As part of this preparation we expect scholars to manage their path to success. We believe that creating a supportive environment will help them immensely in that. Hence we make sure everyone at our school knows and follows our safeguarding and behaviour policies. The latter outlines what is appropriate conduct, that will allow each scholar to be successful each day. We believe that good and positive behaviour is achieved through relationships and an understanding of the impact that this has on individuals. At Ark All Saints we expect all scholars to behave well, all the time. There are no excuses for poor behaviour.
At All Saints, we have created a caring and collaborative environment throughout our school and encourage our teachers to support and help each other. We hold staff development in high regard and offer twice the standard number of training days – including our network-wide ‘Hub Days’ where peers join together to learn and share best practice. There are also opportunities for online training and bespoke learning and mentoring programmes. Please see our six points on what it's like to work at Ark All Saints Academy.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed back from the intended end point - enabling students to reach university. Pupils with SEND are well supported to access the curriculum. Teachers are given detailed information and know these pupils well. Leaders also make sure that pupils who need additional help with their reading get extra support so that they can catch up quickly. The school has very high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Leaders have put in place strategies to support those pupils who need help to meet these expectations.
Ofsted report
The 2023 Ofsted inspection reported that Ark All Saints remains a good school.
“Pupils follow a very carefully considered curriculum that goes beyond the scope of the national curriculum. Leaders have ensured that subject content has been selected so that pupils are able to learn more and remember more over time.”
“Teachers have very strong subject knowledge. They check pupils’ understanding regularly. In lessons, teachers routinely refer back to earlier subject content to help pupils make links in their learning.”
