About Batchwood School

Batchwood School is a Secondary school that specialises in working with students who have social, emotional and mental health difficulties. We are proud of our learning environment and the high standards of achievement and behaviour reached by all students at the school.

I am delighted to welcome you to Batchwood School. We are very much an extra special school in the sense that we have the staff expertise and skills to transform young people into well rounded, emotionally resilient and well - educated young adults. And we take great pride in this!

Since our Ofsted inspection of 2022, which rated Batchwood as a ‘Good’ school, we have really focused on the three A’s: Attitude, Aspiration and Ambition and supporting every student to believe that they can achieve their goals, aspirations and ambitions if they have the right attitude. We know that every child can succeed in life if challenged and inspired appropriately and we are committed to this. We want all stakeholders, students as well as staff, to be able to ‘step into their greatness’.
