Ark Mastery Programmes: Mathematics Mastery and English Mastery
Mathematics Mastery and English Mastery are part of Ark, an international charity transforming lives through education. Ark consists of a network of 38 schools in the UK, educating around 26,000 pupils in areas where we can make the biggest difference. Ark Ventures is the part of Ark set up to incubate, launch and scale initiatives that address some of the most intractable issues in education and society – in the UK and the around the world.
Mathematics Mastery and English Mastery are two of the initiatives that have been incubated through Ark Ventures and are now scaled outside the Ark schools network.
