Acorn House

Acorn House

Acorn House is formed of the Pre-School and Pre-Preparatory departments of Elizabeth College Junior School (ECJS), catering for the needs of boys and girls from 2½+ to 7 years. It is situated at the opposite end of the Beechwood field, with access via Kings Road.

Our thriving Pre-School offers children from 2½+ to 4 years a secure, friendly and happy start to their education. It consists of one Nursery group (2 to 3 years) and two Pre-Reception classes (3 to 4 years). The qualified, experienced staff provide children with a safe and secure learning environment. They ensure that children progress at their own pace.

The Pre-Preparatory Department consists of two classes for each year group, from Reception through to Year 2. The school is well staffed with good pupil/ teacher ratios. The balanced curriculum offered at Acorn House allows for a smooth transition into Beechwood. All pupils have equal access to the curriculum, which consists of not just the activities and lessons, but also the attitudes and values that the school promotes. The dispositions, which we try to foster, form a sound foundation for the future academic success of pupils through all departments of Elizabeth College.
