Ark Burlington Danes Academy

Ark Burlington Danes Academy is a Church of England non-selective, mixed all-through school located in White City, London on a site. The school is funded by the Department for Education and operated by Ark schools, a registered charity under English law, and sponsored by parent charity Ark. History Ark Burlington Danes Academy traces its origins to two separate schools, Burlington Church of England School for Girls founded in 1699 and St Clement Danes Grammar School for boys, founded in 1562, both originally situated in Westminster. Following a decision by the trustees of the St Clement Danes Holborn Estate Charity, St Clement Danes Grammar School relocated from Ducane Road, Hammersmith to Chorleywood, Hertfordshire, and a new school — Burlington Danes a Church of England School — was formed on its old site in 1976. In September 2015 opened a primary school and became an all-through school. In 2017, in the immediate aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire, the school provided accommodation to students from the Kensington Aldridge Academy who had been traumatised and displaced.
