Our all-age (4-19) school provides education for pupils with a broad range of complex learning needs from North Warwickshire, Nuneaton and several surrounding authorities. At Woodlands our aim is for all pupils to achieve their full potential through an ambitious, creative and highly personalised curriculum. We work closely with parents, local schools, the community and many outside agencies. Woodlands is a friendly, warm and caring school. We have a mutually supportive family ethos. Our very special pupils have a wide range of needs: moderate/severe/specific/profound and multiple/complex physical and medical.
