Our mission
We as a Senior Leadership Team believe every child deserves a quality first education, regardless of background or need. We believe that school should be an environment where a child feels safe, secure and is provided with nurture by professionals that are invested in them. We believe in developing positive and trusting relationships.
Success at Woodend Farm School means unleashing the potential of every child we teach. We strive to help children flourish by supporting their growth and development each day through an enriched curriculum that is bespoke to meet their individual developmental needs.
Our values are grounded in a determination to 'be the change' we want to see in the world, through passion, commitment and integrity. We want to plant seeds of kindness and compassion in a generation that will help them develop resilience and hope to fulfil their own destinies. Our success therefore will be measured by the impact we have on the children we work with.
Our vision
Our curriculum is designed and delivered with a sensory approach that embeds essential skills and knowledge, whilst widening each pupils window of social and emotional tolerance. We broaden horizons by exposing pupils to new learning and experience that enable them to have a view and a voice. We want our pupils to be aspirational, be the best they can be, be supportive of each other and be proud for who they are! Our vision for our pupils is that they grow from survivors to strivers, to thrivers, enabling them to become participants fully engaged in our community, society and British culture.
Our ethos
Our schools' approach is strongly influenced by the Thrive Approach. We are offering our children an environment that promotes a life-long love of learning whilst helping to meet the unmet developmental needs that will enable them to flourish and grow as unique individuals.
We aim to:
- Provide a welcoming and caring environment which gives our children a sense of Belonging, allowing them to feel safe, secure and meets their basic needs, where everyone is included.
- Offer learning, which is creative and engaging, following the curiosity and wonders of the child, which is guided by the knowledge and expertise of our passionate staff, making sure all children have the opportunity to Achieve.
- Make memories with our pupils and provide opportunities to experience things they may never have experienced before.
- Create warm, trusting relationships and partnerships built on mutual respect and Kindness. We strongly believe success is built upon Belief .
- Provide a school setting where emotional health, well-being and happiness is a priority for pupils, staff, parents and the wider community.
- Help children develop skills for life. These include resilience, independence, self-expression, self-confidence and self-belief, all of which will result in our pupils transitioning from survivors to strives to thrivers.
