Results and destinations

We will not have any public examination results until 2026 when our Founding Cohort receive their GCSE grades. In the meantime we ensure that our students are making exceptional academic progress by, where possible, sitting the same Ark Common Assessments as the other Ark Secondary schools.

Our December 2021 results placed us:

  • 1st out of 20 Ark Schools in maths
  • 1st out of 16 Ark Schools in science
  • 1st out of 5 Ark Schools in religion and philosophy
  • 2nd out of 9 Ark Schools in history
  • 3rd out of 18 Ark Schools in English

In the UK, the strongest predictor of how a child will do at school is still what their parents do for a living. A student from a low-income background is more likely to start school behind their peers academically, and is therefore at risk of leaving school with fewer chances in life.

  • 52% of Ark secondary students are disadvantaged (i.e. they have been eligible for free school meals, a measure of economic deprivation). This is nearly double the national average of 27%
  • Students going to Ark secondaries are less likely to have achieved the expected standard at primary school, so they enter school behind their peers
  • 40% of Ark students speak English as an additional language, more than double the national average

Despite this, our schools are achieving strong results, especially for the progress that students make. For example, the proportion of our disadvantaged students passing English & maths GCSEs (59%) is over a third higher than the national average (43%).
