Welcome to Woodlands School Web Site.  

Woodlands School provides specialist education for around 70 children with physical and sensory difficulties between the ages of 2 and 16 years. Many pupils have additional medical and other difficulties that may affect their learning. Our school is a resource which serves the whole of the South West peninsula; our pupils come from Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall to learn.  Children who live a long way from school sometimes are weekly boarders in the residential accommodation provided by the school.

We are committed to the principles of Investors in People and have achieved the standard several times already.  We aim to provide high quality training for all our staff,  either by sharing expertise between staff or from external professionals.  We believe that through adequate, focused training,  our staff can better support children to become independent and self-directing people.

This web site will be developing over the next few months,  and we aim to have a dedicated section for parents to find out out extended services as well as contribute to an online forum provided by Emma,  our Parent Support Adviser.  We will also have a space for information about our residential services coming soon too!

We hope you will find our site easy to use and access.  If not, please tell us!
