I can't believe the negative reviews posted here about this brilliant little school. One of my children has attended here since it opened and has been fully supported, receiving much needed help with gross and fine motor skills, plus speech and language therapy. They also teach a varied curriculum outside of special needs services that my child has always found very enjoyable. I am sure that most parents whose children attend Woodlands Meed would testify that my experience was the rule rather than the negative exceptions posted here. It was fantastic for my child to see all of the smiling faces of teachers and teacher assistants waiting at the door at the start of term last week to help pupils to their new classes and made for a very positive start to the new school year.

WOODLANDS MEED School what can I say about it? The teaching staff there, one in particular, Sue was a professional, dedicated and very approachable. For the work and effort she has done for my severely autistic son, I will for ever be in her debt. The Management, I think the term they use these days SLT are, well listen to my experience and draw your own conclusions. I have as you already know a son who is severely autistic and when his school closed the pupils or most of them were moved to Woodlands Meed and I had the pleasure of meeting, along with care professionals one of the Management. There is an old expression "you were given two ears and one mouth so you can hear twice what you say." This guy had either never heard of it or chose to ignore this expression and he had an opinion on everything. Led into a meeting a room a power point was going on in the wall, my son attacking staff, my son causing damage my son doing something else. I couldn't believe it, not one plus things and I starred at the wall where this was getting projected. It wasn't long before he opened his mouth, " Makes bad reading doesn't it? Who are you by the way?" Awkward! My son continued to be educated there and then six weeks before the end of term this year and without warning the school decided they aren't meeting his needs and he isn't coming back to them. Six weeks before the summer holidays hasn't given us much time to find a SEN school. Had they given us months of notice I could have looked earlier, but six weeks before the end of the school year? Every school I've phoned is full. Social services have told me in their desperation about sending him to a mental asylum under section 3 mental health act as there are no places available. You couldn't make this up. My dangerous son is with me now saying over and over " School finished." I am fighting (along with my MP, Charity and loads of support) a system that failed my son, starting with this school. Thank you Woodlands Meed EVERY CHILD MATTERS
