Ark Burlington Danes Academy is a Church of England, non-selective, mixed all-through school located in White City, London on a 10-acre (40,000 m2) site.

[5] 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.

The 10 acre grounds include a multipurpose theatre and performing arts centre, the Dennis Potter Building, named after the playwright who was an alumnus of St Clement Danes.

[6] The other side of the building, constructed later, connects to a technology and art wing, an area for physical education, and a large sports hall.

[citation needed] The school was designed by the office of Sir John Burnet, Thomas Tait & Lorne and there is good evidence to show that the Irish born architect Frederick Edward Bradshaw McManus (1903-1985) who had studied modern architecture in France and Holland prior to joining John Burnet & Partners in 1927 and worked on the design of the school prior to its completion in 1936.
