Ark Charter Academy is a non-selective school for local children. We have 180 Year 7 places available each year.

Year 6 Open Evening

We are excited to announce our Open Evening will be on Monday 9th October 2023 between 4:30-7pm!

This is an opportunity for parents/carers of children currently in Years 5 and 6 to explore our school site and get a feel for the Charter community. We are also offering a FREE meal for everyone who attends!

All departments will be available for you to speak to and ask any questions you might have. Come along and take part in our fun activities and you may even win some prizes!

Our theme for the night will be 'Portsmouth: A community beside the sea'.
