Our Sixth Form
Ark John Keats was founded in 2013 with one class of reception children and is now a fully-fledged all through school with our first cohort of Y13 students ready to graduate this summer.

Our school
Our community is composed of supportive and committed families who buy into our vision and work with us to ensure their children achieve all they are capable of in the future. Our secondary school is oversubscribed, with a waiting list for every year group.
We aspire for all our children to have the academic knowledge necessary to enable them to progress to university, for pupils to have a love of learning and curiosity about the world, and for them to be polite, well-mannered young people who take responsibility for their choices and drive their own destinies.
