As a student, I will strive to ensure that Ark Kings is a great school for everyone by:

  • Being polite and respectful at all time.

  • Being organised: Put the planner, merit card and pencil case on their desk and begin the DNA.
  • Being calm: moving from one place to the next quietly. At the end of the lesson standing in silence until dismissed.
