"Wonderful School and Staff!"

We've been at Acorn Academy for 2 years and it's been an amazing experience. The staff are so caring and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. My child has really blossomed here and I couldn't be prouder.

"Mixed Feelings"

We've been at Acorn Academy for a year now, and it's been a mixed experience. The staff are lovely, but the communication could be better. My child is happy, but I feel like I'm not always in the loop about what's going on. Maybe it's just a case of getting used to a new school?
