Welcome to Stubbin Wood School

The focus of our learning in Sixth Form is centered around preparing for adulthood; we encourage our students to develop skills for independence at every opportunity. It is really helpful if you give further support to your child to develop these essential skills by encouraging them to participate in household activities and promoting self-help as often as possible.As much of the accredited work we do in Sixth Form is evidenced using photographs, we would appreciate it if you could take some photos of your child undertaking various activities, such as cooking or doing household chores. We are keen to see the work our students are producing and would be very pleased if you could share it with us by email. Alternatively, your child may build up a portfolio to share with us when we return to school.We focus our learning on three stages; Experience, Explore or Investigate. Our discussions with you should enable you to confidently navigate through the appropriate area to support their learning.

Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
At Willow Park, we recognised that our lunchtime clubs were not fully meeting the interests and needs of all pupils. We believe that lunchtime activities should be a time of enjoyment, engagement, and enrichment for every pupil. To address this, we took a proactive approach to ensure that our clubs better reflected the voices and interests of our pupils.

Games Club
Work Experience
This really helps our students to shape their thoughts, develop their skills and focus on jobs that they will enjoy in the future.
Volunteering
A fun way to learn new skills, meet new friends and experience a different range of job roles.
