Welcome to our website. We aim for all scholars to leave Ark All Saints Academy equipped with the skills necessary for success at university or to pursue a career of their choice. There are no excuses; we wish nothing less for our scholars than we would for our own children.
At Ark All Saints Academy we believe that the parents are the experts in their child’s life and we want to work with them in order for our children to be successful.
Our academy has been offering excellent opportunities for local children since opening in September 2013, when we welcomed our first cohort of scholars. We then moved into our wonderful new building in January 2014.
Our values and ethos are based in Christian principles and whilst we welcome people of all faith and none, we expect all scholars to respect each other's faith.
We aim high – we will relentlessly pursue academic excellence for all children. Our teaching and academic intervention groups are named after leading universities as a reminder to all of our aims. We want to ensure that all scholars have mastery over key skills in literacy and numeracy to ensure their success in higher years.
Whilst we want our scholars to develop a love of learning, we also want to provide opportunities for them to grow their talents and interests outside of the curriculum. Have a look at our enrichment timetable to see what is on offer this year.
If you would like to get involved in Ark All Saints Academy or if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to get in contact.
We will achieve our potential with support from our faith, support from our families, support from our staff, support from our scholars and with support from you.

Welcome from our governors
Ark All Saints Academy sits at the heart of Camberwell and is a school of which its community can be truly proud. At its heart is a clear belief in the potential of every young person and an unwavering commitment to ensuring that no scholar is limited by their background or circumstances.
The words that welcome everyone into the Academy—“I have come to give them life in all its fullness”—capture our ambition perfectly. Rooted in our Christian values, we want every scholar to experience that fullness of life: achieving highly, developing confidence and character, and being fully prepared for university, employment and the wider opportunities ahead.
Our scholars receive a broad and ambitious education that develops strong literacy, mathematical, scientific, linguistic and creative skills. Just as importantly, we want them to become curious, independent and disciplined lifelong learners who understand the wider world and believe in their ability to make a positive contribution to it. There should be no glass ceiling on what any young person at Ark All Saints can achieve.
This ambition is brought to life each day by our dedicated teachers and staff, led by our Principal, Lucy Frame. As governors, we are proud to support and challenge the Academy as it continues to raise expectations, strengthen outcomes and provide an excellent education for every scholar.
