Welcome to Ark Boulton Academy, where we serve the children and families of Sparkhill, Birmingham. Our mission is to provide a quality education that empowers all individuals to flourish and make a positive contribution to their community, culture and wider society.
Our core values of respect, curiosity and perseverance reflect the ethos of our academy and support us in achieving our mission. We know that all children can and will achieve success as our staff work hard to nurture, support and provide challenge to make this a reality. We believe in the importance of developing character and in providing leadership opportunities for our pupils so that they can positively contribute to our school community and beyond, in line with our school mission. This sits alongside our unrelenting focus on excellence in the academic curriculum.
Not only will Ark Boulton pupils be confident securing the best academic outcomes possible, but they will also develop strength of character for which they will be recognised in society as kind, caring, respectful, and generous young adults.
We cannot do justice to this crucial undertaking alone. We are committed to working closely with parents, families, the local community, faith organisations, business, commerce, and education partners to meet the needs of the whole child.
