At The Acorns Primary & Nursery School, we are a Rights Respecting School where everyone is welcome - we have No Outsiders. We equip our pupils with the skills and knowledge they need to become positive, global citizens. During their time here, children develop into intrinsically motivated, life-long learners: they understand the value of working hard and they aspire to achieve.
Our pupils leave us with a strong, moral compass, comfortable in their own skin, and knowing their own minds. They are brimming with self-belief and self-worth and are capable of being in respectful, trusting relationships with others in their community.
Throughout their time at The Acorns, we instil the characteristics of effective learning. These allow our pupils to develop into confident, resilient and independent adults, prepared to succeed in the modern world. We achieve this vision through our daily mission - Be The Best You Can Be - and by remaining true to our core values: mutual respect, equity, inclusivity and love.
