🌞 Hot Weather Update 🌞

With the high temperatures forecast this week, we are making a number of adjustments in school to ensure all pupils remain safe, comfortable and well supported.

We are particularly mindful that some of our young people can be more vulnerable to the effects of heat, and that this can impact regulation, wellbeing and, for some, medical needs.

In school, we are:

✅Encouraging regular drinks and hydration throughout the day
✅Keeping classrooms as cool as possible
✅Making use of shaded areas outdoors
✅Adapting activities to avoid exertion during the hottest parts of the day
✅Responding flexibly to individual needs where required

If you are able to support from home, please ensure your child brings:

✅A named water bottle
✅A hat
✅Sun cream already applied
✅Light, comfortable clothing

If your child has specific medical needs or you have any concerns in relation to the heat, please do get in touch so we can work together to support them.

As always, thank you for your continued support. … 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.”
