At Ark Putney we work hard to give all students the widest possible curriculum and opportunities.  Whether that be via our high quality carefully thought-out curriculum and reading strategy, vast extracurricular programmes including everything from debate and coding to International and Lego club.  We are also fully immersed  in the Ark Sports and Ark Music programmes as we believe Children are entitled to a comprehensive set of experiences which develop life skills, foster joy and encourage a sense of belonging.

We also ensure that our trips and educational visits add value as demonstrated by this feedback received following a residential to Oxford,

"To say that I am grateful for my time at Jesus College, Oxford University is an understatement. I was exposed to such different methods of education and environments, broadening my personal academic horizons. During my 6 days, I was pushed out of my comfort zone: meeting new people, learning new subjects and participating in activities I would’ve never volunteered for. The course left me with a drastic change in my mindset; by encouraging me embrace the experience, I left me with more confidence and self-esteem. Furthermore, being surrounded by volunteers that are currently in my future position only inspired and provided more personal insight into details to consider for my further education. I learnt about finance, lifestyle, courses and applications. The list is endless. I also learnt a lot about myself, from the personal coaching sessions to the daily lectures, I was given the opportunity to reflect and question what form of education is effective for me."
