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.

This afternoon some of our Chinese 6th form and Pre-A Level students visited Mr Barker’s class in Coram and spoke to the children about Chinese New Year. This was followed by activities where the children made dragons and mice, and also cut out the Chinese word for ‘happiness’ and tried some Chinese writing. To finish the afternoon, all children were given a traditional red pocket. A wonderful, busy afternoon. Enjoy the photos!
