Acorn Wood
Shropshire, Shropshire, West Midlands · SY13 3LR
Acorn Wood is a notably small independent school in Shropshire, with just 11 pupils on roll. A setting of this size offers something distinctive: each child is known individually, and teaching can be closely tailored to the pace and interests of the few who attend. The school is co-educational and non-denominational, led by Ms Sarah Morgan, and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families seeking an intimate alternative to larger mainstream schools may find this scale particularly appealing.
