wyre forest school
Worcestershire
Welcome to Wyre Forest School. We are a broad spectrum special needs school for
children aged 3 to 19. We also have Russell House, a 16-bed weekly residential
unit. We have only been in our building since April 2015. Previous to this the
school was on two sites following the Wyre Forest restructuring in 2011 (Bewdley
Road site, formerly Blakebrook, and Comberton Road site, formerly Stourminster).
We share our campus with St John's Church of England School and Baxter College.
Our Early Years Hub includes a Nursery Assessment Class, which can take up to 25
children. We have a state-of-the-art science lab housed within Baxter College.
We also have a vocational hub and a Sixth Form which prepares children for life
after school. Offsite we run the award-winning Blossom Tree Café in Springfield
Park. Our vision is to truly ensure that we meet the individual needs of all
children at WFS and prepare them for adulthood. At our school We Foster Success
by providing a safe, happy environment in which all pupils can develop and
achieve. We work tirelessly to meet the needs of all the children, so they
develop and progress academically, socially, emotionally and physically. Our
values of enthusiasm, resilience, honesty, teamwork and trust shine out from all
that we do. We have an exciting curriculum which is broad and balanced and make
the use of our specialist facilities; including soft play, dark room, sensory
rooms, vocational hub, hydropool, gym and riding for the disabled. We are also a
communication specialist school and use sign-a-long, PECS and communication
passports. We are passionate about the benefits of outdoor education from Forest
Schools and The John Muir Award, to outdoor pursuits, working the land and
exploring the Wyre Forest. This work is crucial in building emotional
resilience, team work and independence. Please look at our website and revisit
it regularly as there is always something happening! Above all, we are a happy
school where staff and pupils want to be, to challenge and develop on a daily
basis.
