Acorn House College

Acorn House College is a leading private A Level and GCSE College in Southall, West London, with a particular focus on the Sciences. We are committed to supporting each individual throughout their time at the school to secure a place in a fulfilling course at a top university.

At Acorn House College, our ethos is simple and underpins everything we do. It can be summarised in one statement: “It is not where you begin that matters, it is where we will help you go”.

We aim to ensure our students attain the highest possible results in their GCSE and A Level examinations. Consequently, we foster the traditional values of consistent attendance, punctuality and diligent work completion. We take care to provide rigorous preparation for all examinations through focused teaching, intensive revision and past-paper practice.

Our mission is to provide a world-class education for every student that chooses us. We believe that we can add value to every student and we strive to do this every day through outstanding teaching and market-leading pre-university advice. We will strive to enhance and develop a bespoke extra-curricular and enrichment programme.

We will be the first-choice private College in West London for students who wish to study A Level or GCSE courses. We will create a culture of world-class, innovative teaching and learning and parents will see joining us as an investment in their children’s future. Acorn House College will be deeply rooted and valued in the local community.

Our students are at the centre of everything we do. We are always engaging, always inspiring, always striving to deliver the best experience for our students and for ourselves. We are passionate in our belief that a quality educational experience can change the life of a learner. We aim to inspire and empower students to aim high, as well as providing a first-class education. We aim to provide pathways to university both in the UK and worldwide. We aim to build a personal relationship with our students and to train them to be independent learners setting personalised goals and developing their learning skills. We believe that the experiences offered at our College should feel as special as the students they are designed for and that they truly feel they have joined the market leader.

Acorn House College was established in 1999 with a unique focus to provide academic success and achievement for all our students.

We hope this prospectus gives you a flavour of what we believe in and what we do. We want you to use this document and our website as an introduction to the next stage in your child’s learning and progression. In addition, we wish to invite you to visit the college at a time convenient to yourselves to meet us and look at what we do. We share your determination to want the best for the future of your child and have tried to make this very clear in the different sections of this prospectus.

We are very proud of the positive ethos and culture of success we are creating here at Acorn House College and we hope this website gives you a sense of our determination to be successful on behalf of your son or daughter.

Over the last 18 years, we have supported many of our students to gain entry to study at top universities. Our teachers are qualified and experienced and provide a traditional education to all groups of students regardless their initial academic backgrounds. In addition to our provision of quality teaching, we also explore their personal potentials by providing a caring pastoral environment, offering individual advice and support to your child during their time at the College and often beyond.

In recent years significant investment has been made in the College’s facilities, resulting in a number of new classrooms and laboratories being built in the new building extension, thus providing new and modernised environment for learning. The students have thrived in this new learning environment.

In providing the best education we can for your son/daughter we are conscious of the sacrifice you are making to send your child to the College. We share this commitment and will, through our joint efforts, gain the very best outcome for your child. We operate an open and transparent culture where you are welcome to discuss your child’s learning and progress, as we believe this will help us to achieve our mission and the best outcomes for your child.

We hope your child will enjoy their time at Acorn House College, whilst working hard, benefitting from our purposeful and disciplined environment, access to good resources and therefore becoming self-confident, independent learners. They gain our ethos of success and it is always a proud moment when we meet former students and share and celebrate their career accomplishments.

We promote tolerance and diversity, actively promoting our motto: ‘The end of education is character’ as well as promoting our tradition of academic rigour.

With a new era dawning for Acorn House College under the ownership of Regent Group, the education specialists, myself and my team are strongly committed to provide a first-class education to all our students. We will continue to strive to have many more successes and we recognise that your amazing parental support contributes greatly to that success.
