Ark Bolingbroke Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 September 2024

Pupils, and students in the sixth form, are exceptionally well supported to succeed at Ark Bolingbroke Academy. The shared ambition for pupils to approach school with 'courage, compassion, community and excellence' at its core is fully realised. Staff have very high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school has designed a broad and ambitious curriculum. As a result, pupils develop secure subject knowledge, which results in very strong examination results in a wide range of GCSE and A level subjects. Pupils' behaviour and conduct is exemplary. Pupils are polite and courteous. They have highly positive attitudes and behave well in lessons. Pupils are happy and kept safe in school. The school provides a wide range of opportunities to develop pupils' character. These include fundraising activities, the Duke of Edinburgh award, acting as pupil ambassadors and being representatives in the student senate. Students in the sixth form quickly develop as independent learners. They are encouraged to take on leadership responsibilities and to act as role models, for example, by acting as mentors for younger pupils and volunteering in the local community.
