At Grange Drive today we had a wonderful first assembly back in the hall together! Our assembly was about worries. Poppy told us about the different ways in which we can let people know if we have a worry or a concern and then led a sensory story about the different things we can do when we feel worried. … See MoreSee Less

Nurture JM Students had a spectacular final day at Beaumanor Hall! We started the day with a hearty breakfast in preparation for den building. We took part in building our group shelters by finding sticks, ropes and sheets, working together to build our den. Afterwards we were rewarded with a hot chocolate and some lunch before a look in the gift shop. All students were real role models throughout. A massive thank you for everyone’s support to make this happen! … See MoreSee Less

JM Nurture have had a wonderful first day at Beaumanor Hall! We started the day with a nature bird walk, listening to birds and matching the sounds to the bird. Afterwards we enjoyed taking part in a scavenger wildlife hunt, created our own pictures from what we found and then explored finding insects! We finished the day with a play in the park, a blindfolded walk in the woods and a hot chocolate, before getting ready for bed. … See MoreSee Less

“Keep up the good work, excellent school.”

“The teachers are an asset to my son and others, thank you.”

“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.”
