About Us

We are a primary school and nursery offering a great education for local children of White City. Our school opened in September 2023, bringing together Ark Swift Primary Academy and Ark Burlington Danes Primary Academy to create one, two-form entry school.

Our new school is a brand-new purpose-built and modern building on the new EdCity site in the heart of White City. We have state-of-the-art facilities including a roof terrace with growing gardens for each year group, a space for outside lessons and a high-quality playground area. It also has a multi-purpose cooking, DT, science and art room and a sensory room. The school has been designed with extra wide learning corridors which can be used as flexible breakout spaces from the classrooms.

Guided by our values of Excellence, Friendship, Courage and Determination, Ark White City Primary Academy strives to build a community committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. Our values are important to us and we will ensure that we promote them and recognise where others ‘live the Ark White City Primary Academy values’.
