Iron Acton C of E Primary School is a Voluntary Controlled School set in the village of Iron Acton  which has a population of around 1300 and lies 9 miles north of the city of Bristol.

The school was opened in January 1874 and retains many original features. At that time the head teacher's salary was £60 a year, this has been increased slightly since then!

Over the years there have  been many alterations and improvements and the school now has two classrooms in the main building. One on the ground floor along with the head teacher’s and the secretary’s offices, the other is suspended above the school hall among the rafters! The third classroom is in an Elliot building close by. The hall is a good size and is used for assemblies, P.E., lunch, school concerts, Friends of Iron Acton (PTA) social events and other activities. Connected to this building is the old head teacher’s house which now contains a small group teaching room, staff room and pupil kitchen. Upstairs is out of bounds to pupils and contains resource rooms and a shower room.

Outside there is a good sized playground, an enclosed play area for younger pupils and a large playing field, where we are currently developing conservation and wildlife areas including a pond and native woodland.In September 2008 there were 80 pupils on the school roll. Most of the children come from Iron Acton and the surrounding villages but a significant number of children come from further afield to enjoy the benefits of a small village school. The standard number of children admitted to each year group is 12.
