About Us

We are a new secondary school in Acton which opened in 2021. We will have 900 pupils in Years 7- 11 from September 2025. Pupils will be sitting their GCSE exams for the first time and preparing for progression to A-level. Ark Soane seeks to redefine what is possible in education. Our model is “simplicity delivered expertly”: by delivering an immaculately planned and highly academic curriculum exceptionally well; and by providing our pupils with a compelling aspiration-raising ethos we seek to transform the future of pupils in a highly deprived community. Behaviour at Soane is exemplary enabling you to deliver exceptional lessons. Pupils are entirely bought-in to the values and ethos of the school and know that they are fortunate to attend a school where the quality of education is exceptional and where love, warmth, respect and the highest standards permeate every interaction. Pupils are a pleasure to teach and you can always expect a “thank you miss” when pupils leave your classroom.

Diversity and inclusion: We aim to build a diverse and inclusive organisation where everyone – staff and students – can do their best work and achieve their full potential. We want to reflect and represent diverse perspectives across our organisation because we know that doing so will make us stronger and more effective.
