The London Acorn School

Congratulations to our year 5&6s on their prize giving at 8billionideas Green My City event last week! Your sustainable ideas for the future are inspiring.

Sunshine, dandelions and a very hungry caterpillar.

The London Acorn School’s parent and toddler group, Little Acorns, is a beautiful environment to relax with your child, meet other parents and carers, and learn seasonal crafts that connect us with nature.

For more information, check out Little Acorns on our website (link in bio).

Welcome back to the Summer Term at The London Acorn School. It promises to be full of sunshine, wholesome learning and laughter. The heart of childhood.

Reading together as a family is entering a magical world together.

We are delighted that our students have already raised £175 for our Ready, Steady, Read World Book Day challenge - think of all those new books for children to enjoy in the library! Well done and thank you.

If you haven’t yet sponsored your child, encourage their reading this weekend. And most of all, spend those precious moments together, away from screens, being present.

While we can’t deny the success of Barbie last summer, there is something wholesome about the handmade dolls in our Kindergarten.

Welcome back to Spring Term 2 at The London Acorn School!

Take a look at some of the crafts our Parent and Toddler Group, Little Acorns, have been making recently.

A huge thank you to for delivering a workshop to our Year 5 and 6 students on the Green My City Challenge this week. We can't wait to see how their project develops over the next few months.

This Girl Can!

Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity are very important to the culture of our school.

That's why, if you visit The London Acorn School, you are just as likely to find girls and boys knitting as well as sawing.

Throughout the school, academic excellence is sought. Supporting and challenging children to reach their academic potential whilst - most importantly - enjoying their learning.

Brave and true I will be.
Each good deed sets me free.
Each kind word makes me strong.
I will fight for the right,
I will conquer the wrong!

Our Year 2 children were thrilled with their Andy Goldsworthy inspired art last week - a creative way to connect with their local surroundings.

Can you remember the first time you learnt to read? That wonderful moment when the adult world feels in reach - a little bit closer!

Enter their world: a world that is good, a world that is fun, a world that is kind.

A world full of colour, sunshine and laughter.

A world full of possibility.

Enter Kindergarten.

Sunshine and Ice! Crack! Splash!

Cold fingers warmed by a mug of hot tea.

Rosy cheeks and warm hearts.

The end of another good day.

At this time of year, having a positive relationship to the outdoors can make all the difference to our mindset. We love to get outside and spend time doing crafts, like felt-making, to slow down and connect to the present moment.

Happy New Year! We’ve welcomed students back today for Spring Term 2024. What a beautiful blue sky day to start.

Chris Connaughton brought Christmas magic to our Kindergarten through the art of storytelling, captivating our 3 to 6 year-olds with his wonderful tales.

'[Apple slices] roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose...'

Investigative Maths enables children to deepen their learning and application of what they are learning in the classroom.

'Tis the season to go to the theatre!

Our Juniors are off to the Polka Theatre today to watch The Snow Queen.

Sometimes a simple gift of a hand rolled beeswax candle and an apple holder can bring joy to our students lives at this time of year.

There are wonders to be discover in nature even at this time of year.

Happy Advent! Wishing everyone a lovely festive season.

All our Little Acorns, Kindergarten and Junior children enjoyed a magical Advent Spiral yesterday to celebrating dining the light within us at this dark time of year.

Beautiful artwork of The London Acorn School created by pupils throughout the school!

A day spent in Kindergarten is a day spent painting, playing, reading, being outdoors, baking, making crafts, having meals, doing maths, learning phonics, learning woodwork, and so much more!

Woodland Craft is an opportunity for all our Juniors to spend time in Nature, learn risk-management and breath fresh air.

It is lovely to see children take pride in their written work from their handwriting to their drawing. We hope these books will be opened up and enjoyed in years to come.

Is your child allowed to get muddy at their current school?

Can they climb trees, make dens, whittle wood?

Come and visit The London Acorn School to learn more about our outdoor education and why getting muddy is so important for your child's wellbeing.

Our Kindergarten is a creative place to start your child's educational journey. The London Acorn School provides a nurturing and safe environment for young children to experiment, create and challenge themselves.

Join our wonderful Coach Jody for a week of holiday sport activities and Christmas crafts from 18th - 22nd December at The London Acorn School (£45 per day).
