Work at Sheringham Woodfields School continues in connection with the new therapy centre build. The images below show the finalised renders of the new centre.
At present work is being done in connection with the footings and foundations. The next job is to install the new soakaway whilst at the same time starting on the blockwork.
At present we hope to open the centre in June 2020.
Friday 12th July saw the start of building work on the new therapy centre. The first phase of the construction process is to relocate the water main running under the development site. This work is expected to take 5-7 working days to complete. As you can see, the existing water pipe has been located and is now getting ready to be diverted.
Since receiving a grant from the Sheringham Shoal Foundation, pupils in Oak Class have been busy using the sustainable and renewable Lego and KNEX kits to make some amazing new inventions – all of which are powered by renewal energy.
Sheringham Woodfields Sports Week 2019
Sheringham Woodfields sports week took place w/c 13th of May with loads of exciting sports on offer for the pupils to experience. Monday saw football on the astro-turf with Pav – Funball Football Company. This session gave the student’s time to experience new skills to learn and show off some of their own.
Wednesday we had to sessions running Cromer tennis club returned to coach and help teach the pupils some tennis skills. Pupils from throughout the school really enjoyed these sessions.
Also on the Wednesday, we had Dance with Premier dance. This session gave our pupils a chance to express themselves in either making up a dance routine or just using different ribbons or other item they had to use.
In the hall on Thursday, we had archery with Premier sports. We have a session of archery each yeah as this is such an inclusive sport for all the pupils to access.
On Friday saw our older students attend the Adult disability festival with Active Norfolk. This day gave our students an opportunity to try loads of sports throughout the day.
The whole week was a fantastic week for our pupils to enjoy, participate and experience new and familiar sports.
We are all delighted with our recent Outstanding judgement, it’s a just reward for all the hard work and dedication of our staff, governors, the professionals who support us, parents, carers and obviously the fantastic children in our school.
Though the two days were tough, our inspectors were very thorough but fair.
The Governors and Leadership team have great confidence in our staff and my pep talk to staff the night before was very simple “just do what you do every day!”
For the two days the atmosphere in school was really positive and all staff and students were able to show our school at its very best.
Something that was really evident to the inspectors was the wonderful care provided by our staff.
“The very supportive and caring ethos provided by highly skilled staff”
“Relationships between staff and pupils are a major strength of the school. Staff treat pupils with respect and dignity at all times.”
Success for our pupils is a partnership between school and parents and carers and so it was really pleasing to see the responses from parents were so positive
“All parents spoken to during the inspection or who responded to Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View, spoke in glowing terms about the support that they and their child receive at school.”
Our pupils have a very wide range of abilities and needs and so we work hard to achieve the best for all by treating them as individuals, again this was recognised throughout the inspection as
“Leaders have a dynamic and flexible approach to the curriculum which is highly responsive to pupils’ individual needs.”
“Pupils are well prepared for life beyond school, which underpins the school’s whole approach”

Staff and Volunteers dressed up for the occasion and helped raise lots of money for the school by opening on Sunday as an extra.
We also had the luxury of Maureen (Alice Marrs Nan) raising money with her fabulous home knitted and crocheted items that she had been busy creating for the fundraising table that she ran over this weekend. Students made and designed Maureen some posters for her stall. A grand total of £507.00 for the sale of her items plus the donation pot on her table raised an extra amazing £13.00.
A Big Thank you to Maureen for her hard work and dedication to our school.
