Inspiring successful futures for all

Welcome

On behalf of our students, staff and Trustees, we would like to welcome you to our Firwood Website.

Firwood is a Good School (OfSTED March 2023) where we believe all of our staff team work diligently to enable our students to be the best version of themselves.

We have a shared ethos of preparing our young people for adulthood and this thread runs through Key stage 3 and 4 and on into our Sixth Form.

Our school mission statement is … ‘Learning without Limits’ and every day we strive to positively challenge our young people to engage with learning that offers them the opportunity to make choices, communicate in their preferred style, be heard , learn new skills and be proud of themselves.

DofE is in full swing!
What a fantastic week of Duke of Edinburgh’s Award activity! 
Our students have been busy developing new skills, building confidence and working together. This week we’ve been:
Practising map reading and navigation
Tidying and taking care of our school garden
Learning bushcraft skills
Having a go at soft archer
Trying our hand at soft axe throwing
And beginning to think about planning our DofE expeditions!
It’s fantastic to see our students getting stuck in, supporting one another and discovering what they can achieve. 
And this year, we’re going full steam ahead with our bronze,Silver and Gold DofE programmes! 
We’re incredibly proud of the progress our students are making and can’t wait to see where their DofE journey takes them.
