Ark All Saints Academy
London, SE5 0UB · Southwark · secondary school
13th of 19 secondary schools in Southwark we can score, 20 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.2/10 against 101 of them, against 5.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 41.2 · 43 | 30% | 1.30 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.44 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.2 · 47 | 10% | 0.47 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 41.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.2, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.44 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs like Dungeons & Dragons, Chest club, and Bible Club. Sports include athletics, football, boxing, and rugby. Arts activities feature Shakespeare School’s Festival, whole school musicals, and instrument lessons. Trips include music tours to Belgium and an annual residential in Kent.
Getting in. The school has 581 pupils in a capacity of 600, leaving 19 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the final year to maintain their progress? What specific support is available for students who need extra help with English and maths? How does the school manage the transition for new students given the limited number of spare places?
