📚Teaching & Learning Tuesday

Our Falcons have restarted their Tuesday morning visits to the Stockyard Market and the learning on offer is brilliant to see.

Students are developing key life skills by planning and crafting items, handling money, interacting with the public and learning about profits. These real‑life experiences help build confidence, communication and independence.

Even better, the money raised is being saved towards exciting summer events; giving the learning a clear and meaningful purpose.

If you find yourself looking for something to do on a Tuesday please go and visit the Falcons market stall at the Stockyard.

We’re so proud of how our Falcons represent themselves and the school in the community 🌟 … See MoreSee Less

🌳 This week at Birch Wood

What a fantastic first week of the summer term we’ve had at Birch Wood!
Our Grange Drive students have loved diving straight into our Pirate‑themed half term 🌊🏴‍☠️ from singing sea shanties and walking the plank to exploring the wonders of the sea, learning has been full of adventure and imagination.

Our BWC students have had a brilliant week building independence through travel training, confidently using local transport and developing important life skills 🚍👏.

Meanwhile, our BWV students have been getting back into the swing of things, preparing coursework for their GCSEs and continuing to develop a real love of learning 📚✨.

Our Ashton House students have had an unforgettable start to the term with a residential at Lea Green, taking part in amazing activities including climbing, canoeing, caving, low ropes and the zip wire. So many smiles, achievements and proud moments! 🧗‍♀️🚣‍♂️

What an incredible start to the summer term! We can’t wait to see what the rest of the term brings! 💛🌈 … See MoreSee Less

“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.”
