Welcome Message

Arco Academy offers a holistic and therapeutic alternative to mainstream education.

I’m Andre Bailey, Principal of Arco Academy, and I am delighted to personally welcome you to our school. At Arco Academy, we are dedicated to empowering students to become the best versions of themselves—academically, personally, and athletically.

Pupil well-being is at the heart of everything we do. We prioritise the individual needs of our pupils by offering comprehensive wraparound care, including access to therapists and dedicated support staff. This ensures that every pupil receives the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive in both their education and personal development. Our teaching staff are fully qualified, and in vocational subjects, students benefit from expert-led sessions delivered by industry professionals.

As a sports-specialist independent school, we integrate sport into our daily curriculum, with every student engaging in activities tailored to their abilities. Our team includes former sports professionals who bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to our programme. For students with exceptional talent, this structured approach can lead to pathways in sports and related careers, offering exciting opportunities for the future. Alongside our dynamic sports programme, we provide personalised academic plans to support students in reaching their full potential both in and beyond the classroom.

At Arco Academy, our goal is to instill resilience, confidence, and a love for learning in every pupil. Based at Camberwell Leisure Centre, we are proud to offer state-of-the-art sports and classroom facilities, accessible to students from across London.

To learn more about our approach and admissions, we invite you to explore our website, reach out to us, or visit us in person. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing information about the impact we might have on your child.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards, Andre Bailey
