Welcome to Woodside Academy - part of London South East Academies Trust

We are a special academy, offering provision for 4 -19 year olds with a wide range of learning difficulties, including Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and moderate learning and medical needs. All our pupils have a Statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP). All new admissions require a confirmed diagnosis of Autism (ASD).

We work in close partnership with Belmont Academy, which is unique in that it connects a special school with a mainstream school. It enables us to make meaningful links between the two educational environments, enriching the provision on offer to our children.

Woodside Academy has also recently become part of London South East Academies Trust, joining seven other outstanding schools in Bexley and Bromley. This gives us the opportunity to share best practice and strengthen educational links across the region.

Our pupils are supported by a large therapy team, including play therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and physiotherapy. This team works in a co-ordinated way and in partnership with the Academy to ensure all children and young people's needs are fully supported. 

We have a Family Support Worker who works with families and supports them through difficult and challenging times, along with a School Nursing Service, offering on-going health education services and support for families.

We are at an exciting point in our school's development and welcome you to come and visit and find out more.

Public Health England, the local Health Protection Team, LSEAT and Bexley LA have made a decision with the school to move education for all Woodside pupils to remote learning for operational reasons and to protect children, their families and the Woodside staff team.

A high proportion of school staff are now required to self-isolate. This means that the school site cannot remain open in a safe way. We will continue to educate your child through remote learning.

Therefore, you will need to keep your child at home from Tuesday 24th November 2020.

We hope to welcome all children and young people back to school on Tuesday 8th December but will need to keep this under review.

Remote Learning

A number of classes are already operating remote learning through Google classroom. We expect remote learning to be available for all within 24-48 hours. We appreciate your patience whilst this is being set up.  Further instructions will be sent to you as soon as possible.

Communication with the school and teachers

Please note that the office will be closed. Therefore all communication will need to take place via email on; office@bwf.education. We will also aim to check in with families via telephone.  The pastoral team will also be able to offer similar support as in Lockdown 1.

The safety and wellbeing of children, families and staff is a priority.  We will review the situation again next week and will let you know of any further changes.
