Boarding at Ackworth School

Boarding is available to students aged 11-18. The school’s main aim is to provide a ‘home from home’ – a place where boarders can relax, feel safe, and enjoy each other’s company. Students’ wellbeing is of utmost importance, and House Staff are on hand to support students at any time. In addition to this, Ackworth offers a fun-filled weekend programme for the students to keep them busy at all times!
