Welcome to our school, where “positive relationships, kindness and respect are at the heart of everything we do.” As Ofsted noted, “parents and carers recognise how the school’s ambition and care is transformative for their children.”
Our ambitious curriculum combines therapeutic support with academic challenge, helping pupils to grow in confidence and resilience. Pupils thrive through a rich variety of experiences that broaden their horizons and prepare them for life beyond school.
Pupils benefit from outstanding personal development that builds their confidence, independence and readiness for life beyond school. Through a rich and varied programme of experiences, our children flourish socially, emotionally and spiritually, preparing them to thrive in the wider world.
Our school community works in close partnership with parents, carers and the Local Authorities to ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive. Through strong relationships and shared ambition, we create a consistent and caring environment that nurtures each pupil’s development and success.
Welcome to Acre View Primary School, our school has been purposefully remodelled in the beautiful village of Lydiate, Sefton.
Acre View caters for primary aged children with a range of complex Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, enabling their academic development while creating inspiring opportunities for pupils’ social, moral, spiritual and cultural awareness.

They learnt how to build spears, make cave paintings and shoot an arrow. This visit certainly brought their history topic to life for them.

This week was our first trip to forest school and what an adventure it was! The children explored the forest, built a shelter, was shown how to safely whittle sticks and cut branches for the fire and all about fire safety. After all that hard work, they were treated to a hot chocolate and some toasted marshmallows. It was a wonderful first visit that even the weather could not spoil. Everyone cannot wait to go again next week!
