🌍💙 World Diabetes Day 💙🌍

Today, we join the world in raising awareness about Type 1 Diabetes and its warning signs.

These warning signs are known as the 4Ts:

🚻 Toilet – Going to the toilet more often
🥤 Thirsty – Feeling constantly thirsty
😴 Tired – More tired than usual
⚖️ Thinner – Losing weight for no clear reason

If you notice any of these signs in yourself or your child, it would be advised to seek advice from a medical professional.

Let’s spread the word and help everyone recognise the 4Ts of Type 1 Diabetes. 💙

On Tuesday 11th November, students across Birch Wood came together to honour Remembrance Day. Each class took part in creating beautiful poppies to display around the school, showing respect and gratitude for those who served. During the day, our school community also paused for a moment of silence and reflection to remember and give thanks. ❤️🌺

Today we remember. 🌺

On this Remembrance Sunday, we pause to honour the courage and sacrifice of all those who have served, and continue to serve, in the Armed Forces.

Our school community joins the nation in reflecting on their bravery and the freedoms we enjoy because of them. 🌺

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”

“I am extremely happy with the progress my daughter is making – she has come on in leaps and bounds. I feel Birch Wood Vale is tailor made for her needs.”

“I am so happy with how my son has progressed in the school setting over a short period of time. A big ‘thank you’ for everyone’s help and especially for their exceptional support. I know that he will blossom throughout the school setting. Thanks again!”

“The primary school said under no circumstances could he go back after Christmas. Sending him to Birch Wood is the best thing I ever did, I couldn’t be more pleased. He is calmer, telling me about things he enjoys at school. Everybody has noticed such a big change in him, all of my family appreciate everything you are doing, it has changed our lives.”

“My son is really happy, he’s started playing again and back to the old child. Everything is really positive and he is much happier when he comes home. The unit has been really positive for him”

“I am happy with the new assessment and tracking system. My son seems very happy at school and appears to be making good progress. The teachers seemed very knowledgeable about my son’s abilities and when to push him. I would like to comment on his next IEP before it is finalised.”

“The provision has been outstanding in every way and the staff are brilliant with strategies to ensure progress is made in all areas of my son’s school life. We couldn’t ask for anything more!”

“I was very impressed with how positive ad enthusiastic all staff were tonight (as always). Especially impressed with all the efficient, colour coded information on my sons progress and it’s equivalent grade in GCSE.”
