ACS Partnerships
As a group of schools with an inspiring, engaged community and an international ethos, ACS is uniquely placed to build meaningful educational partnerships that advance education for school-age children, supporting local and global communities wherever possible.
At ACS Cobham, we have various partnerships that provide opportunities for students to access enhanced education not otherwise available to them, and for teachers to develop teaching excellence.
Our school was thrilled recently to win a silver award from the Global Good Awards in recognition of its partnerships locally and internationally.

Community collaboration
We collaborate with partner schools locally and globally. These schools use our facilities for various occasions, including hosting sports days, attending our Forest Schools, and participating in multi-school learning and activity days hosted at our campuses.
These occasions include events such as SATRO FEST, which welcomes 21 Surrey senior schools for a day of STEM challenges, Destination Imagination UK, local primary school groups’ STEM festivals, and numerous school swimming galas.
ACS is committed to continuing to share resources, facilities, expertise, and ideas with partner schools. We are delighted to collaborate to enrich the learning experiences of both local and ACS students.
Partnership events and activities
ACS creates memorable experiences for students to come together and learn through major events.
STEAM 2022 was a celebration of all things STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics). 10,000 students attended a day at Thorpe Park theme park, where they learned from exciting corporate exhibitors such as the Royal Air Force and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) before enjoying the rides.
Other activities include young carer days at our campuses, elite football residential camps in partnerships with London Premier League clubs, and ‘A Night at the West End’ with 12 partner schools and 250 local school children performing alongside partners Performing Perfectly and the RPO.
Teaching excellence
ACS shares teaching excellence and a deep understanding of best practice to empower teachers within partner schools, often with limited or stretched resources, to advance their own skillset and students’ educational experience.
ACS provides expertise and training in a number of ways:
- Providing VR Technology – ACS supplies mobile VR equipment for schools, allowing them to integrate advanced technology into their teaching practices.
- Online Training Docu-series – ACS produces docu-series for online training, accessible to partner school teachers and the broader community. The first series, “Hacking Neurodiversity,” and the second, “The Future of Technology for Teachers,” offer expert insights and practical guidance.
- Networking and Learning Events – ACS hosts and leads events focused on key educational topics, such as safeguarding, facilitating professional development and collaboration among local school teachers.
