Ackworth has always been a co-educational, boarding and day school. For over 240 years, we have maintained a passion for teaching and learning. We are proud of our traditions and family values, but equally proud of our innovative approach to co-education. Ackworth is a dynamic and forward-thinking school. We strive to develop resilient individuals who not only think creatively, but also act ethically and with responsibility. We encourage our students to express themselves with confidence, to embody the Quaker value of speaking respectfully to others, but also in a way that is true to themselves and their beliefs.
We provide and encourage the use of the widest possible range of opportunities, for example in sporting, creative, and recreational activities outside the formal curriculum to help pupils to grow in self-respect and to appreciate the benefits of good health.
We continue to encouraging pupils to consider others before themselves, to look for the good in people and to be honest and trustworthy at all times, helping pupils to value their fine surroundings and the work of those who maintain them – extending their appreciation to an understanding of environmental issues. Our motto, Non Sibi Seb Omnibus – not for oneself, but for all – is at the heart of helping children grow into confident and enquiring young adults.
