School Description

The Acorn School is a co-educational, non-selective independent day school. The Acorn School has been managed by the proprietors since it was established in 1991. The school does not have a governing body. The school is operated by The Acorn School Ltd. The proprietors run the school together. One of the proprietors continues to teach in the school; one has recently retired from the Inspection report: The Acorn School, 22–24 January 2019 Page 9 of 12 post of headteacher. The co-headteachers took over the day-to-day running of the school in September 2018. There are no disadvantaged pupils in the school currently. The school does not have approval for Section 41 and, therefore, does not have pupils with an education, health and care plan. The school has no pupils educated off-site or in alternative provision. The lower school operates for pupils broadly between the ages of six to twelve, whereupon pupils transfer to the upper school, which includes the sixth form.

The Acorn School Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK. Contact the school directly or visit their website for more information on Admissions Policy and Procedures.
