Ark Alexandra Academy is celebrating after Ark was named 'Trust of the Year – 10 Schools or More' at the prestigious Tes Schools Awards 2026.
The annual awards recognise the schools, trusts and educators whose work is transforming outcomes for young people and setting new standards across education in the UK.
The award is one of the highest honours in the education sector and reflects the collective success of Ark's network of schools, as well as the trust's wider contribution to education nationally.
In awarding the title, the judges praised Ark's impact both within and beyond its schools, stating:
"This is a trust that has not simply improved the schools within its portfolio – it has made a significant and lasting contribution to British education. This is a strong trust which deserves acknowledgement for its consistent excellence."
As part of the Ark network, Ark Alexandra Academy is proud to contribute to and benefit from a family of schools committed to high standards, excellent teaching and ensuring every child has access to a great education.
The recognition highlights the dedication of staff, students and families across the Ark network, whose hard work and commitment continue to drive success and improve opportunities for young people.
Everyone at Ark Alexandra Academy is delighted to celebrate this national achievement and congratulate colleagues across the Ark family on this well-deserved recognition.
