My daughter attended Arco academy for 2 school years and has recently left after doing GCSEs . I have only good things to say about this school and the staff. The team are absolutely amazing and treat the children as individuals and make sure they grow and develop both academically and personally. My daughters confidence grew and she became so much happier within herself almost instantly from being there.
She got all the support she needed to grow learn and develop into a young adult. I cannot fault them as a team and will miss her being a part of the Arco family.

Arco Academy has been outstanding

Arco Academy has been outstanding! They have staff members who care about the students and provide limitless support to families. They understand that every child is not the same and some children may have more needs than others and are not what mainstream like to deem as ‘disruptive and difficult’. They are firm but fair all round and are great advocates for students to reach their best potential, whether it be preparing them back for mainstream or staying with them. Without their consistent communication with my family and support given I fear my child would not have been given a second chance at anything! Forever grateful to Arco Academy.

A School To Be Proud Of👏

The staff are passionate and committed to the young person and want them to succeed. They make every effort to help and build a rapport with the parent/carer. Communication is consistent and in many formats, making it accessible to all via Whatsapp, telephone, workshops for parents, meetings and networking with the local community ie Met Police. Arco are aware every child is different, with skills and potential and do not try to classify them in to one box or type. Second to none.

Arco Academy review

Since my younger sister has been at Arco all has been amazing they’ve treated her well and has supported her many aspects like controlling her behaviour management and educational wise I would 100% recommend Arco as it’s genuinely has a huge impact with children that has difficulties in many aspects. Angela has gained a lot of confidence since being there the Staff are amazing. The smaller classrooms has helped her a lot into focusing with her work and getting things done. I couldn’t be more than happy.

The experience…

The experience is good everyone treated my daughter well and has supported her with education and behavioural management. Merricka has gained confidence when she was there, she was able to get her work done and move on to another school with a lot of self confidence. That was all down to Arco for looking after her well-being. Arco is a very good academy that helps a lot of children with their difficulties. I would recommend Arco to any parent who has any problems with their children in the community.

Thanks for the support that I have received as a parent.

Previous arco student

I love it at arco! Coming from my previous provisions, the environment and quality of education was a lot better. Everyone was so welcoming and the staff really helped me to achieve the grade I needed and to improve my overall behaviour in education.

Thank You Arco.

I really appreciate the time and effort that all staff members at Arco gave my son. Before attending Arco he was becoming more and more disaffected with school. As parents we were very pleased to see him increase his desire to do well in lessons and importantly his efforts being recognised and reward accordingly!

A safe and supportive place to be

The school has been a safe, welcoming and supportive place for my son. As a parent, I have been nothing short of amazed by teachers’ and staff’s commitment, enthusiasm and ability to identify and cater for my child’s personal development and educational needs. The daily reporting provided by the school is a valuable tool for monitoring progress and the level of communication between the school and us parents also exceeded my expectations. Just couldn't be anymore grateful for all the support received.

Arco have been fantastic since my daughter moved to their provision... The teaching staff are dedicated to helping the children achieve the very best.
The schools communication is very open and I've had no problems speaking to someone at the school when needed.
My child is a much happier 15 year old since starting at arco. And I couldn't be happier as her parent.
Arco have been so supportive in every way... I can't thank them enough
