Our Services

Trust-Wide Support Services

To enable Senior Leadership Teams in our schools to focus fully on teaching and learning, Acorn Education Trust provides a comprehensive suite of central support services. These services are led by experienced staff within the Senior Executive Team, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and continuous improvement across all schools.

Our central business services are:

- Human Resources (HR)

- Finance & Payroll Services

- Information Technology (IT)

- Estates & Facilities Management

Tasks and responsibilities that fall within these categories are managed by dedicated professionals who work closely with schools to deliver high-quality support. This approach ensures:

- Consistency in policies and procedures across the Trust

- Efficiency in operations and resource use

- Continuous improvement through shared learning and innovation

- Excellent customer service from friendly, knowledgeable teams

By centralising these business functions, we reduce administrative burdens on school leaders and create space for them to focus on what matters most, providing exceptional education for every child.

Again, these services are delivered by members of the Senior Exec Team who work in partnership with schools to ensure high standards, consistency, and tailored support that meets the needs of each setting.
