About Ackworth School
For over 240 years we have maintained a passion for exceptional learning and teaching that is non-selective and without judgment of the individual.
Quaker values underpin all that happens on a daily basis in our school community, with an emphasis on acceptance and quiet reflection. ‘Non sibi sed omnibus’, meaning ‘not for oneself but for all’, lies at the heart of school life alongside the Quaker testimonies of simplicity, truth, equality, peace and sustainability. An inherent respect for others and honesty at all times creates a calm, friendly school atmosphere which is supportive and reassuring for young people. Students are encouraged to think creatively, act ethically and with responsibility.
What makes us different?
Set in the beautiful heart of Yorkshire, within easy reach of major UK cities and transport routes, Ackworth School is a place for:
Growth
Ackworth is an all-through school for children, aged two-and-a-half to nineteen years. This stability throughout their educational journey gives pupils outstanding continuity and the opportunity to forge lifelong friendships, creating an environment for increased academic focus and confidence.
Achievement
With an emphasis on individual goal setting and encouragement, the learning journey at Ackworth School enables students to realise outstanding results, often beyond expectation, whilst remaining attentive to the needs of others. When they leave, they are equipped to lead a fulfilled and responsible adult life.
Support
We devote equal time to supporting pupils’ growth and emotional development as to their academic development. We believe that happiness and fulfilment are an integral part of a child’s educational progression.
Peace
Peace is one of the Quaker testimonies, part of everything we do. Whilst most in our community, whether staff or pupils, are from a non-Quaker background, these relevant principles set the foundations for a life based on the belief that every member of the community has equal value.
