At Woodlands we strongly believe that education, coupled with high quality support, leads to people being able to take control of their own lives and destinies.

We are expanding foundation school. From September we will be offering education for 100children between the ages of 2 and 19 years with complex physical and sensory difficulties. Many pupils also have medical needs and other difficulties that may affect their learning.

We provide a range of opportunities for very young children and their parents or carers to come into the school, use the facilities and share their experiences with other people. We offer an inclusive service to our families, providing support for more than a child’s learning and development. We guide families through various support assessment processes.

Our assessment nursery is opening in September 2025 for children from the age of two, to attend sessions to develop their skills, some in readiness for inclusion and possible mainstream education. Our teaching provision is dynamic and all pupils have individual learning programmes which is based upon their Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

Our commitment to having high expectations for every child, an enabling curriculum and a strong emphasis on independence and self-actualisation, ensures our pupils leave school not only with a range of qualifications but also the skills for a fulfilling life. A similar approach is taken for staff, we have a responsive training programme which demonstrates our commitment to developing staff skills supporting pupils’ experiences at school.
