Welcome to
Stubbin Wood School

Our pupils and their families are our future and the reason we are here. At Stubbin Wood, we work to give our young people the skills, knowledge and understanding to succeed in their lives, to challenge their circumstances, to become as independent as possible, and to enjoy the rights and privileges that are theirs and those of all children everywhere.

A message from the Headteacher

Welcome to our website. I hope that you find it useful, and that it helps you understand a little about our school.

A lot happens at Stubbin Wood, far more than we can show you in these pages. That’s the pleasure of working here – there’s always something new to do and to celebrate. We welcome all current parents to the school, and invite anybody with an interest in our school, be it a prospective parent or a professional colleague, to come and meet us and our wonderful children, of whom we are rightly proud.

This website is still being developed, and in due course we hope to have a ‘Parents Page’ and a page for our pupils to show off what they do well and enjoy. If you have any comments about the content, or would just like to say hello, please contact us here on the addresses given.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us.

Headteacher

School successfully achieved Artsmark Silver and the Financial management Standard in Schools award in September 2009. Congratulations to everybody who worked hard for these!

The art competition title this term is ‘Santa Claus’ and we hope to have some new pictures for you to see shortly – in the meantime, look at the entries for last year’s Christmas calendar competition ion the Pupil Work page!

We have agreed a working design for the new co-located school and you can look at this on the ‘Read Reports’ page. As you will see, the design includes a grand new Hydrotherapy pool, much bigger classrooms, a lovely indoor courtyard, and much improved access and grounds. We are working to finalise the design with a final start date for development of April 2010, when we hope the building work will begin. As always, if you are a parent keen to become involved in this exciting chapter of the school’s development, give me a call!

We are welcoming a Chinese delegation from Shanghai in March 2010, following on from our successful visit to the Yang fan school in October 2008. Mr. Chen, the Headteacher, will be part of the group coming to Derbyshire and we would like to welcome him and his colleagues for what we anticipate will be a very interesting and fruitful visit. We have also made contact with the Nova Vista school in Cape Town, South Africa, and the Headteacher recently met Mrs. Peta Johnson while visiting schools in the Cape Town area. Once again we are looking forward to working with another very interesting international partner, perhaps to welcome a visit from them in the near future!

OFSTED came, and were duly impressed. If you want to take a look at what they said, see the ‘Read Reports’ page
