We are deeply saddened to hear the news regarding Mount St Mary’s College and Barlborough Hall School. Our heartfelt thoughts are with all pupils, parents, and staff as they navigate this unsettling and uncertain time.

At Ackworth School, our priority is to provide warmth, care, and a sense of belonging for every child. We understand how challenging change can be — especially when it comes unexpectedly — and we are committed to making transitions as smooth as possible.

As a co-educational boarding and day school, we take pride in ensuring every pupil is known, nurtured, and encouraged to thrive. Many pupils who join Ackworth quickly come to think of our campus as their “happy place” — a safe, inspiring environment where they can flourish academically, socially, and personally.

We offer:

  • A nurturing, values-led community built on kindness and respect
  • Tailored academic support for pupils transitioning from other schools
  • Excellent boarding provision with flexible options for families
  • A rich co-curricular programme encouraging pupils to lead, create, and achieve
  • An inclusive co-educational environment where every child is encouraged to grow in confidence

If you are exploring the next chapter for your child, we are here to guide and support you.   Please contact James Busson, Director of Marketing, Admissions and Communications via WhatsApp on 07874 452377 or email admissions@ackworthschool.com.
