About Ark Elvin Academy
Ark Elvin is an eight-form secondary school in Wembley, north-west London.
We recently moved into our new, bright and airy building, which features a new library and a dining hall opening onto a courtyard, along with modern classrooms, a 5 court sports hall and a sixth form common room and study space. Outside, staff and students benefit from a new all-weather pitch for sports like football, hockey, rugby and cricket and a multi-use games area for sports like basketball, netball and mini-tennis.
Our motto – ‘dare for greatness’ – runs through everything that we do. It reminds us that as a school community, we must uphold our core values of integrity, courage, community and mastery.
Our mission is to ensure that every pupil leaves Elvin confident, articulate, and culturally aware; able to pursue careers they are passionate about, contribute to society and live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives.
We were rated a "Outstanding" overall in our most recent Ofsted report (June 2023) - you can read the full report here.

Ark does a lot of free CPD for other teachers and they’re looking to recruit the most hardworking teachers. You do feel when you join Ark that you are part of a network that wants to develop you as a teacher and that’s been a really big part of my experience here.
