Welcome to Ark Ayrton Academy
We are a two form entry primary school and nursery, offering a great education for local children in Portsmouth.
At Ark Ayrton we have high expectations of our children and what they can achieve. Our priority is to ensure all children are safe, happy and learning well at all times.
Our nursery was rated Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted in June 2022.
