Welcome to Acorns School

Chris Hampton

Welcome from the Head Teacher

I am delighted to welcome you to Acorns school. The school has a successful history of empowering pupils who have experienced challenging periods in their lives.

The school prides itself in providing a safe, secure, positive and supportive environment, which is caring, consistent and fair, irrespective of gender, disability and background.

Aims

We aim to develop the pupil’s self respect, self confidence, self reliance, sense of loyalty and honesty.

The school encourages pupils to form positive personal relationships in order to live and work with sensitivity and mutual respect.

What sets us apart from other schools

Acorns School never loses focus on every individual child. The small class setting provides the necessary stability to support both a pupil’s social and emotional difficulties in addition to their academic pursuit.

Join us at Acorns School in Stockport and experience a supportive learning environment where every student's journey matters.

Areas of expertise

Many of our pupils have serious social issues and very difficult home lives resulting in complex emotional difficulties.
