Welcome to our new website
Welcome to The Acorn School’s new website. Through this new site we will be sharing news of the school and the education that we offer, trips, activities, festivals and a host of other news items, but first, a bit of the school’s history, and a few thoughts as I write…
The school has been in existence since 16th September 1991, when it was founded in my conservatory, with four children. Since that first day, the school has grown in strength and number, and I feel extremely proud that children receive an outstanding and child-centred education, with the highest standards. It has at times been a real struggle, but through the continued and total support from my wife Sarah, at every stage, the school has thrived.
The school is situated in a privately owned, purpose-built, Victorian church school. This ownership enables us to offer a unique education at a fraction of the price it might cost if the building was mortgaged or rented.
What you get when you place a child at this school? An unequivocal commitment to every child, and individual education, offering the very highest standards. Although I am not really motivated by what the government feels about the school, it was reassuring that in the OFSTED inspections of 2005 and 2009, it was considered to be Outstanding.
The Acorn School is a place of excellence, and achieves values that are not achievable in government or public school education.
I am so proud of what has been achieved here. I welcome visitors, who can freely meet the students and speak with them. We hear from many visitors, that the uniqueness of the education can be experienced upon walking into the school.
