foxwood academy
Welcome to Foxwood Academy and welcome to our website. Hopefully, you will find
all of the information you need on our website but if you have any specific
questions you can contact us directly at the Academy. The ‘Help for Everyone’
drop down menu on the far right hand side provides you with clips and links to
videos that you might find really useful and the ‘Site Map’ section in the
‘About Us’ menu will take you to a list of everything on the website. We are a
school for children and young people with SEND but also a school for parents and
carers. We want to provide you with the support and help that you might need and
hopefully this website is your first stop. The children, young people and staff
at Foxwood are remarkable. We have just over 110 children and young people and
approximately 60 staff. Our youngest children start at age 4 and our oldest
leave us at the age of 18. All of our children and young people have an
Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) and all of our children have difficulties
with cognition and learning. About 75% of our children would be described as
children and young people with an Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC or sometimes
called ASD) and others can be described as having Sensory and /or Physical
needs. We have a very strong set of core values here at Foxwood that guide us in
every decision and action that we take. We believe in: Education – That every
child with a special educational need deserves the best possible education
available provided by the best teachers in the best schools and Academies.
Independence – That every child and young person is given the opportunity to be
as independent as they possibly can be. Celebration – That the children and
young people should be happy here and celebrate their part in our community.
Learning for Life – That Foxwood is a stepping-stone to bright futures. Futures
where young adults can be happy, healthy, independent, and play an active part
in society. Lots of parents and carers contact the Academy and the website to
see if our context; or the children and young people that we teach, are similar
to their children and young people at home. Peer groups are very important for
our children and so this is understandable. The link here will take you to some
data that might help.
