✨What an unforgettable day at Curve! ✨

Today, our incredible group of 15 students took to the stage and moved the entire audience to tears with their powerful performance of The Climb. Through Dance, Drama and British Sign Language, they shared a message straight from their hearts:

“Look at what we CAN do, not what we can’t.”

One of the most emotional moments came when they broke through a banner reading “You can’t do that” and the audience erupted into cheers. Soon, the whole theatre was signing along with them.💪🏼

Our amazing Bronze and Silver Award students kept the celebration going, getting everyone clapping along with their brilliant disco moves.🪩🕺🏼

Michelle summed it up perfectly:
“I am always proud of our students, but today they were phenomenal and made me cry with pride.”

💛 What a day. What a team. … See MoreSee Less

✨What an unforgett

🌳This Week at Birch Wood

It’s been an extremely hot week, but there’s still been so much happening across Birch Wood! ☀️💚

At Grange Drive, we’ve seen lovely moments of friendship and sharing, with classes coming together for water play fun to stay cool 💦

A special shout out to Summer from BWV, who kindly delivered ice lollies and iced water to our Grange Drive classes, which was very welcomed by pupils and staff 🧊💙

Some pupils from BWV enjoyed an incredible swimming session at Waterfield, building confidence in the deep end, while 8CM had a fantastic day out at Gulliver’s Kingdom 🎢

Birch Wood College pupils have been working hard to complete their ASDAN qualifications 🌟

A fantastic week in the sunshine ☀️ … See MoreSee Less

📚 Once Upon a Thursday 📚

The Owls have been working hard to develop their love of reading across their daily curriculum 🦉💚

They’ve enjoyed exploring different books, sharing stories, creating silly sentences, learning to read, Makaton signing, naming symbols, reading their timetable, and practising writing and spelling new words ✍️

It’s amazing to see such a growing confidence and genuine love of reading develop! 🌟 … 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.”
