Located in Dunstable, Lark Rise Academy has 380 students, with nursery provision up to Year 6. The school joined the Chiltern Learning Trust on 1st June 2018 and will provide a lead and direction within our primary provision. This gives us the chance to work alongside another outstanding school within the trust in order to improve teaching and learning and to share best practice with other schools.

Lark Rise has a proud tradition of excellence, but more importantly, has a reputation for caring for each and every child - and family - that crosses our doorstep. The school recently became a primary school after being a lower school. We have been delighted that our standards within Key Stage Two have risen markedly as we have become more experienced and developed in our expertise. Pupils make remarkable progress and reach very high standards in all age groups and this is underpinned by outstanding teaching and learning. We are also mindful of our central role in the local community and we are always looking to develop new links with partners.

Lark Rise is also a National Teaching School (The Acorn Teaching School) and our Headteacher is a National Leader of Education. We are proud to support other schools within the area and within the Trust.
