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.

Woodside Academy will move to remote learning for most pupils until the February half term.

On-site provision for children of critical workers and those most vulnerable will be provided where appropriate. The local context and our operational capacity are under constant review and we are aiming to accept more children as soon as we can.

All learning tasks will be available via your child's Google Classroom account and further details regarding quantity of learning, teacher feedback, a parent user guide to access Google Classroom will be made avaialble.  Children will have access to identical learning activities whether they are learning from home or on-site.

School staff will be making regular contact with all children who are currently learning remotely either through Google Classroom or, with your agreement, through telephone calls home.

If you are a parent working at home, we know how difficult that can be. Whether your child is attending on site or learning from home, we appreciate all that you are doing to support your child and their education. Your number one job as a parent is to keep your children safe and well. Parents and carers are not expected to be teachers! You are not expected to be experts in all the subjects, knowledge and skills that your children learn.

Please do contact the school by telephone 01322 350123 or by email office@bwf.education if you have any worries or concerns or if you need advice.

Please also continue to notify the school if any of your household receive a positive COVID test.

Thank you
