This Wednesday is one of our favourite days of the year – Grange Drive Sports Day and we can’t wait to celebrate with all our amazing students! 🏈🎾⚽🏏

The day will begin with a joyful Opening Ceremony, where pupils will proudly parade around our sports-themed corridors, cheered on by staff and friends.

Throughout the day, students will take part in their class’s favourite activities as well as a variety of inclusive sporting events including: Musical Target Throw, LED Bowling and Water Balloon Launch. Our Special Olympics-inspired Sensory 360 Race will round off the fun!

It promises to be a day full of energy, laughter and teamwork 🌟

To get us all in the spirit, here’s a look back at the fun we had last year! 🎥👇

Let the countdown begin! 💚💛

“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.”
