📚 World Book Day Reminder! 📚

World Book Day is coming up on Thursday 5th March and we’re really looking forward to celebrating with our pupils!

This year’s theme is “You Are a Reader”, and all pupils are invited to dress up as a book character or create their own character. There will be lots of fun activities and competitions taking place throughout the school day.
Don’t forget our photograph challenge too – we’d love to see children reading in unusual or unexpected places (this could be books, signs, menus, magazines and more!). Please send photos in to your child’s class team.
All pupils will also receive their World Book Day voucher, so please check book bags this week.
Thank you for your continued support – we can’t wait to celebrate reading together! 📖✨ … See MoreSee Less

This week at Birch Wood 🌳💙

Our Post-16 Falcons have been developing their independence skills by making their own snacks. The falcons completed the whole process from preparation right through to washing up and tidying their workspace afterwards independently. 🍎🥪
It’s fantastic to see the students building confidence in the kitchen, following instructions, making choices, and taking responsibility for cleaning up once they’ve finished.
Fantastic independence Falcons! 👏💙 … See MoreSee Less

“Keep up the good work, excellent school.”

“The teachers are an asset to my son and others, thank you.”

“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.”
