Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome to Acre Wood Academy

Acre Wood is a specialist school for pupils and students aged 4-19 with a wide range of special education needs, including Profound and Multiple learning Difficulties (PMLD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is set across three sites (primary, secondary and sixth form) located closely together in Crowborough, East Sussex.

The school is now part of London South East Academies Trust. This will bring many new opportunities as we embark on our exciting journey as Acre Wood Academy. To find out more about the Trust visit here

Our school benefits from the regular support of Speech and Language Therapists, Physiotherapy services and Occupational Therapists provided by the Children’s Integrated Therapy and equipment Service (CITEs) within Kent NHS and commissioned by the Local Authority.  We also have, as part of our team, a Special Schools Nursing Sister from East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust who supports the health and wellbeing of our students.

As a staff team we work to create a place where our pupils and students can learn in a safe, happy and enriching environment, one which promotes independence as well as a sense of fun, curiosity and excitement.

I hope that this website gives you a useful overview of Acre Wood Academy. Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions at office@acrewood.lseat.org.uk or on 01892 663 018.   

With kindest regards,
