About Acorns Primary School

Acorns Primary School sits in the Warwickshire local authority, a small state primary tucked into the Stratford-on-Avon area. Among the 52 primary schools ranked in the same district, it places 5th, comfortably inside the top 10% locally. Its closest peers at the top of the table include Mappleborough Green CofE Primary School and St Mary's Catholic Primary School, both of which share the highest ranking score of 100, followed by Barford St Peter's CofE Primary School on 93. With just 103 pupils on roll and a capacity of 97, the school is slightly oversubscribed — 31 families applied for 15 places in the 2025/26 intake, and 14 of those were first-preference offers. Headteacher Hannah Young leads a school that has clearly carved out a strong reputation in a competitive local landscape, particularly given the area's 12 outstanding-rated primaries.
