📖Once Upon a Thursday – Liam’s Story 💛
We are incredibly excited to share that Liam will be completing this incredible challenge at Birch Wood this Friday!
At around 2:50–3:00pm, Liam will be running past BWV/BWC, down the path past the football club and finishing at Grange Drive.
Our whole school will be out on the playground to clap and cheer him on as he makes his final steps to the finish line and we would love for anyone who can to join us at the school gates to do the same. 💛👏
Let’s come together as a community to celebrate Liam’s commitment, determination, and the incredible cause he’s supporting.
💛 Let’s cheer him home! 🏃♂️✨Wishing the very best of luck to Liam Collins as he takes on an extraordinary challenge this week – 3 ultra marathons in 3 days, visiting every Discovery school! 🏃♂️💨
Liam is raising vital awareness and funds for YoungMinds and the #HelloYellow campaign, championing children’s mental health and reminding our pupils, families, and colleagues that no young person should ever feel alone.
We are behind you every step of the way Liam! You’ve got this

At Birch Wood School, we know how important it is to work in partnership with our parents and carers. Your insight and lived experience help us create a supportive, nurturing environment.
As part of our Behaviour & Culture commitment, we are beginning to record a series of practical workshop-style videos to support families.
Before we begin to make these videos, we want to hear from you:
Which Behaviour & Culture topics would you find the most valuable?
1: Understanding behaviour as communication
2: Trauma‑informed practice at home
3: De‑escalation & co‑regulation strategies
4: Intensive Interaction (building connection & communication)
5: Sensory circuits & everyday regulation at home
6: Visual supports at home (timetables, first‑then, task breakdown)
7: Supporting Communication through AAC/PECS
8: Anxiety & school‑based avoidance
9: Repair & restore (restorative conversations)
10: Sleep/wind‑down routines
11: Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) at home

📚 Teaching & Learning Tuesday
This week, we are celebrating the incredible work happening across our photography curriculum by showcasing one of our talented GCSE pupils, Raahi, whose passion and dedication to photography is inspiring.
Raahi has developed a remarkable eye for detail through his love of wildlife, especially bird photography. His patience, focus and creativity have enabled him to capture stunning images that reflect not just technical skill, but also a deep appreciation for the natural world. 🐦
Through projects like this, our pupils experience:
-Real-world application of GCSE skills
-Opportunities to explore personal interests through the curriculum
-Growth in creativity and independent learning skills
Raahi’s work is a brilliant example of how our curriculum empowers students to follow their passions, build expertise and express themselves through meaningful, high-quality outcomes.
A huge well done Rahi. Your photography is exceptional and we are proud to celebrate your talent this week!🌟📷 … See MoreSee Less
