Ark Putney Academy

Our Sixth Form students consistently achieve outstanding destinations, progressing to top universities, competitive apprenticeships, and meaningful employment. This success is underpinned by high-quality teaching, personalised guidance, and a strong culture of aspiration. As part of the Ark network, students benefit from a wealth of opportunities including university access programmes, career partnerships, and enrichment experiences that broaden horizons and raise ambitions. The network’s strong links with leading institutions and employers provide invaluable support, helping students make informed choices and realise their full potential. Our Sixth Form is a launchpad for future success, grounded in excellence, opportunity, and ambition.

Every week students have the opportunity to come off timetable for a double lesson and take part in a carousel of activities and work experience placements. In the past we have offered placements at Royal Neuro Disability Hospital, Primary Schools, Marketing and Communications Team at school managing school Instagram, Tik Tok and events, Debate Mate, Climbing and Leisure/Sports and Extended Project Qualification - the opportunity to scoop another 0.5 A Level on an academic project of your choosing.

Your Y12 Assembly will include inspiring speakers from all walks of life, including business professionals, academics, not-for-profit and much more

Not only will you take part in a compulsory summer work experience placement; we encourage and support you in finding placements across your time at 6th form using work experience platforms such as Mayors Fund for London to gain valuable opportunities to help you decide about your future.

We support you in applying for University programmes across the year as well as a Summer 1 night residential at University of Bath.
