About Foxfield School

All About Foxfield School

Welcome to Foxfield School, a purpose-built secondary special school located in Woodchurch. We provide a high-quality, stimulating, and highly engaging learning environment for pupils aged 11 to 19, specifically catering to young people with Complex Learning Difficulties (CLD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD).

At Foxfield, we believe that every young person’s journey is entirely unique. Our mission is to nurture, support, and challenge our pupils to develop into happy, healthy, safe, and successful young adults who are as independent as possible and can confidently communicate their wants and needs.

Our Holistic Approach

To help our pupils reach their full academic and personal potential, we always look at the whole child first. Our skilled team of trained teachers, teaching assistants, specialists, and multi-agency therapists work tirelessly to identify and overcome individual barriers to learning.

We meet our pupils exactly at their point of learning by providing:

●     Bespoke Sensory and Reflex Integration: Tailored strategies to help pupils regulate and engage with the world around them.

●     Emotional Well-being Support: Focused care to champion positive mental health and emotional resilience.

●     Specialist Communication Tools: Individualised systems to ensure every pupil has a voice and can express themselves.

By stabilising and supporting these fundamental needs, we create a safe, accessible, and deeply inclusive space where every young person can truly maximise their progress.

Our Curriculum and Core Aim: LEARN

Our bespoke curriculum is designed to offer a highly personalised and enjoyable learning experience. This purpose is beautifully captured in our school mission statement and core values:

●     L – Life Skills: Preparing our young people for the world beyond Foxfield by fostering everyday independence, practical confidence, and vital life tools.

●     E – Enjoyment: Creating a joyful, warm environment where pupils love to come to school and where learning feels like an engaging adventure.

●     A – Achievement: Celebrating success in all its beautifully diverse forms. We recognise and applaud every single milestone—big or small, academic or personal.

●     R – Respect: Nurturing a culture of dignity, kindness, and mutual respect, ensuring that every individual voice is genuinely heard and valued.

●     N – New Experiences: Expanding horizons through a rich variety of trips, community visits, creative projects, and activities that broaden our pupils' worlds.

A Collaborative Community

We are incredibly proud of our wonderful pupils and the vibrant, inspiring place they create. We know that true success is a team effort, which is why we value the vital partnerships we build with families, our dedicated staff, multi-agency therapists, and the wider supportive community.

Together, we ensure that our students don't just navigate their secondary years—they truly thrive.
