Welcome to Ark Victoria Academy
I am delighted and proud to welcome you to Ark Victoria Academy, a vibrant and successful community school in the heart of Small Heath, Birmingham.
Our vision is to be the number one school of choice in our community, improving the life chances of all those within our community. To achieve our vision, and support our pupils to flourish, we work collectively with our parents, our staff, governors, pupils, community leaders and Parent Community Forum.
Strong attendance is key to making the most of every learning opportunity. Please watch our short Attendance Video to find out how parents, carers, and school staff can work together to support excellent attendance and positive outcomes for all students.
Plans for Sixth Form
We are delighted to announce our exciting plans for the development of a new Sixth Form, designed to provide outstanding post-16 education and opportunities for our students. This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting young people as they take the next step in their academic and personal journeys, with a focus on high achievement, modern facilities, and a broad range of subject choices. The proposed plans aim to create an inspiring environment where students can thrive and prepare for university, apprenticeships, or future careers. Further details about the Sixth Form development, including facilities, curriculum, and timelines, can be viewed below.

Ark Victoria Academy Ofsted Report
We are delighted to share fantastic news from our recent Ofsted ungraded visit.

Safeguarding
At Ark Victoria Academy we have a duty to ‘safeguard and promote the welfare of children’. If you have any concerns about the health and safety of a child at this school or feel that something may be troubling them, you should share this information with an appropriate member of the school staff straight away.
Free School Meals
We understand how important it is for children to have the energy and focus they need to learn and thrive. That’s why we’re encouraging all parents and carers to check whether they might be eligible for free school meals. Even if you’re unsure, it’s worth applying—many families qualify without realising it.
The application process is quick, confidential, and could make a real difference to your child’s school experience. It also helps the school receive additional funding to support learning and wellbeing for all pupils.
