This Week in Falcons Post-16 🦅
What a fantastic week we've had in Falcons Post-16!

We started the week with an amazing trip to De Montfort Hall to experience the Aardman 50 Years Celebration, complete with a live orchestra. Students thoroughly enjoyed seeing some of Aardman's most iconic creations brought to life through music, animation and storytelling. It was a memorable experience and a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the arts together.

To finish the week, we turned our attention to our latest community project and began planning and organising our community allotment. Students worked together to discuss ideas, plan the space and think about what we would like to grow. We are excited to see this project develop over the coming months and look forward to sharing our progress with you all.

Well done to all of our students for their enthusiasm, teamwork and positive engagement throughout the week. 🌱🎶🎭

❤️ Today, on Remembrance Sunday, we pause to remember.

Across our Discovery school communities, we join people throughout the country in remembering those who have served and sacrificed their lives in conflicts, past and present.

It is also a time to reflect on the importance of peace, compassion and looking after one another.

We remember them.

Well done to the Birch Wood Bolts who competed in the Discovery Trust eSports Mario Kart event on Saturday morning. The boys did very well working as a team, encouraging & supporting each-other and taking on different roles within the team throughout the morning.
A huge congratulations to Noah, who was one of four students to be selected as his leagues MVP (Most Valuable Player) as chosen by the referees. …

“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.”
