📚Teaching and Learning Tuesdays
A golden thread within our curriculum is to enable our pupils with the skills to make meaningful choices within their community.
We are currently launching a project to work with Melton businesses/groups to produce communication resources to enable our pupils and the wider SEN community to access local facilities with greater independence.
If you are a local business and are interested in this project please contact Poppy Marriott (marriottp@birchwoodschool.co.uk) for more details.

🌳This Week at Birch Wood
It’s been another incredibly busy and joyful week right across Birch Wood, filled with connection, learning and celebration.
💗 SWAN Undiagnosed Children’s Day
Today, Merlins and Kites proudly marked Undiagnosed Children’s Day, raising awareness of children and young people who live with complex needs without a formal diagnosis, often known as SWAN children (Syndrome Without A Name).
Pupils and staff took part in pink‑themed, multi‑sensory exploration activities, celebrating our SWAN friends through shared sensory experiences, connection and joy ✨
Pink is worn worldwide on this day to symbolise awareness, acceptance and belonging – values that sit at the heart of everything we do in Merlins and Kites, every single day 💕
🌞 Grange Drive Adventures
At Grange Drive, pupils have been making the most of the beautiful weather, playing with friends in the playground, visiting local parks, exploring a range of activities in Forest School, and enjoying lots of pirate themed fun.
Students in The Treehouse also represented Birch Wood at a KS2 athletics competition at Saffron Lane, showing fantastic determination and teamwork.
We also loved Leicester Wheels, where pupils had an amazing time riding a wide variety of bikes 🚴♀️
🐐 Birch Wood College Brooksby College Farm Visit
Students at Birch Wood College enjoyed a fantastic visit to Brooksby College Farm, exploring wildlife areas, learning about local habitats and discovering real badger setts.
They met a range of farm animals, including piglets less than 24 hours old! A huge thank you to Farmer Rose and Farmer Carol for making the day so engaging, informative and memorable. The visit linked beautifully to learning about animal care, life cycles and the natural environment, with students engaged from start to finish.
🎨 Birch Wood Vale Exams and Enterprise Success
At BWV, we are incredibly proud of our pupils who completed their Art and Design exams this week!
Our student enterprise company BW Bargains also had a brilliant week, selling drinks, popcorn and fidget toys and making £25 profit 👏
