About Ark White City Primary Academy

Ark White City Primary Academy sits in the Hammersmith and Fulham local authority, where it ranks 34th out of 35 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That puts it in the bottom half of schools locally, well behind the top-performing peers in the area — John Betts Primary School, St Peter's Primary School and Addison Primary School. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision attached. It has no religious character and is led by headteacher David Williams. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained at the school's overall Good rating, which it has held since its last graded inspection in 2016. That earlier graded inspection gave the school Good marks for both leadership and management and overall effectiveness, a notable improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2012. The early years provision, however, was rated Requires improvement in the 2016 graded inspection.
