About Ark Burlington Danes Academy

Ark Burlington Danes Academy, a Church of England secondary in Hammersmith and Fulham, has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. The school’s Progress 8 score sits at -0.03, which is broadly in line with the national average and places it in the ‘Average’ banding. This is a solid result given the context: the local authority average Progress 8 score is 0.35, meaning the school is performing slightly below its immediate peers, but it ranks 9th out of 11 secondary schools in the borough. Within London, it sits in the 365th position out of 487 schools, and nationally it lands around the midpoint of all schools. The Attainment 8 score of 49 and the basics measure (73.5% achieving a grade 4 or above in English and maths) give a clear picture of a school where most pupils are securing solid foundations.
