Academic Life
First-class teaching is at the heart of any good school and Ackworth benefits greatly from the quality and experience of its teaching staff.
Our aim is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum based on the National Curriculum but taking advantage of the flexibility we enjoy as an independent school. We encourage students to make curriculum choices which suit them best and much advice and guidance is on offer to help them to do this.

What a great morning at Nostell Parkrun! The Ackworth School takeover went very smoothly and although it was extremely cold, everybody enjoyed themselves and found the experience rewarding. We’ll certainly be volunteering again! Well done to all involved! Just a few photos.....
The Sixth Form are having a study conference day delivered by Newcastleuniversity.
The focus is on developing independent learning skills required to study A-Levels and enabling a smooth transition to a university degree.
Thank you to all who donated and/or visited the PSA Uniform Shop on Friday. It was lovely to see so many people.
