Polam school was founded in 1923 and moved to Lansdowne Road, Bedford in the 1950s. The school was subsequently sold to Cognita in the 2000s.
Separately, Acorn School was opened on a different site in Bedford in 1985. In 2008, Acorn School too became part of the Cognita Group.
In October 2008, it was announced that the two schools would merge, with the new school being located at the Polam School site.[1] The new school officially opened on 21 April 2009.
Polam Oaks School and Little Acorns Nursery is owned and operated by Cognita, and educates children aged 2 to 8, with most graduating students going on to attend one of the nearby Harpur Trust schools in Bedford. Facilities at the school include a purpose-built sports hall and indoor swimming pool.
