Partnerships with Families
Working in partnership with Parents, Carers, Families and the wider community is crucial to ensure all our children develop both their educational and social skills. We pride ourselves in our open-door policy as we are here to support our community to develop and grow. We believe that children deserve the best possible chances in life and that they learn best when there are strong links between home and school.
I am very proud to be the Principal of such a richly diverse school community, which is representative of this busy and exciting area in London. At Ark John Archer Primary Academy, children from many different backgrounds and cultures learn together as one and everyone is valued, supported encouraged and celebrated.
Please spend some time on our website to find out more. However, no amount of browsing can replace a visit and we would be delighted to show you around our wonderful school. Please do make an appointment to visit Ark John Archer Primary by phoning the school office. You will be very welcome.
