Shenstone School is an all-through specialist school for children and young people with severe and/or profound and multiple learning difficulties. We opened our doors to our secondary provision in September 2022, when we welcomed our first year 7 cohort. As a school community, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to extend our learning offer to year 7-13 by 2029. The Secondary site is situated in Belvedere. Although we currently have a temporary facility for our secondary students, a specially adapted secondary school is currently being built in Halt Robin Road, Belvedere. We hope our permanent site will be up and running next academic year; however, we are expanding to welcome two new Year 7 classes in September 2023.
Our staff are passionate about providing the best opportunities and education to our students. Working in partnership with parents and carers, we successfully foster and develop a positive attitude in our young people and support them to have opportunities that will allow them to achieve beyond their expectations. The support and guidance students receive from staff gives them the confidence to learn independently and strive to achieve their most aspirational outcomes. The school positions itself as a centre of excellence for its students, parents/carers, staff, local authorities and the wider community.
We aim to ensure that all students have the maximum opportunity to participate fully in society to enhance their life chances. We pride ourselves on ensuring that learning remains purposeful but is equally fun. We are committed to supporting the emotional health and well-being of all our students, staff and parents/carers, and we stand by our motto of “together we engage, thrive and achieve”.
We are very proud of Shenstone School and our achievements which include: The Autism accreditation through the National Autistic Society, The Wellbeing Award for Schools, Outstandingly Happy School status, Move Centre of Excellence Award, National Online Safety Certified School status, and we are also an accredited Arts Award Centre. We continue to expand with new ideas and initiatives to maintain and improve services for students and staff.
