We are delighted to welcome you to Ark Bentworth Primary Academy.
Ark Bentworth is a warm, ambitious one-form-entry primary school at the heart of its local community. We welcome children from Nursery through to Year 6 and are proud to provide a school where pupils are known well, supported closely and encouraged to achieve highly.
Our vision is to “aim high and achieve together.” This sits at the heart of everything we do. We want every child to develop the knowledge, skills, confidence and ambition they need to succeed, both at Ark Bentworth and beyond.
As a small school, relationships really matter. We work closely with children, families and one another to create a strong sense of community, high expectations and a culture where everyone is encouraged to contribute and improve.
We are committed to high-quality teaching, a rich and ambitious curriculum and ensuring that every child feels safe, happy and successful. We want our pupils to leave Ark Bentworth as confident, independent and determined young people who are ready for the next stage of their education.
We hope you find the information on our website useful and that it gives you a sense of what makes Ark Bentworth special. Please do contact us if you would like to find out more or arrange a visit.
