On behalf of the children, staff and governors I would like to warmly welcome you to Applebee Wood Community Specialist School website. 

I am very proud to be the Headteacher here, where we work together to secure the most relevant education for all, and always believe that anything is possible!

Applebee Wood is a generic learning difficulties school. All of our children have an Education Health and Care Plan, we work closely with numerous professionals to ensure that we provide the appropriate provision for each individual child. 

Here at Applebee Wood our dedicated staff team are committed to providing outstanding opportunities for all our students, to develop their skills and personalities to enable them to become the best they can be. We do this by providing excellent teaching and support and an inspiring and enriched curriculum within a safe, secure and positive environment. This enables our students to overcome a diverse array of learning difficulties and additional challenges and to grow in confidence. 

To ensure the best outcomes for the children, we believe it is crucial to build partnerships between school, children and home. We value the contribution made by parents and carers towards their child's education. 

Our website will give you a flavour of our school, so the very best way to find out all about us, is to come and visit us. 

I look forward to welcoming you to our school.
