The Acorn School

We work with secondary schools through commissioned, dual registered places to help young people in Years 7 to 11 who for a variety of reasons may not be succeeding in a conventional classroom environment.

The school opened in September 2013 and provides a unique, high-quality alternative education for the young people we serve. I am privileged to work with a team of experienced, highly motivated and caring staff who not only provide a broad and balanced academic and vocational curriculum; we work with children and young people through our therapeutic team to seek to understand why they are struggling to engage within a mainstream setting and give them strategies and support to aid their future success.
