Acorn Wood
School summary
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.

Teaching & academics
Acorn Wood admits pupils at age 11 and operates an 11+ entry process. With so few pupils, the pupil-to-teacher ratio is inevitably very low, allowing a highly individualised approach to learning.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A genuinely tiny independent school where every pupil is known by name. Acorn Wood suits families who value close attention over the breadth of a larger institution.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
