The governing body at Birch Wood Special School is committed to providing an excellent education for our pupils while maintaining our role at the heart of the community and preserving our unique values and strengths. With this in mind, we are exploring the possibility of joining Discovery Schools Trust, a respected partnership of 14 primary schools and 3 special schools established in 2012. Discovery’s mission, vision, and values align closely with our commitment to inclusion and excellence, and we see this as an exciting opportunity to enhance our work. Importantly, Birch Wood would retain its name, logo, uniform, culture, values, and much of its autonomy, including decisions about term dates, curriculum, and therapies.
We value your input during this exploration phase. The consultation period begins Monday 2nd December and ends on Friday 10th January.
