ABOUT US
Silverwood School is a maintained co-educational special school for pupils aged 4-19 years. We formed in September 2020 with campuses in Chippenham, Trowbridge and Rowde.
This is an exciting time to join Silverwood School as we are expanding our provision with a brand-new building at our Rowde campus. The new building will have a wide variety of new classes and support areas including subject specialist rooms, a hydrotherapy pool and new sensory rooms; it is due to open in September 2024.
Our mission is to enhance opportunities, enjoyment and outcomes for our pupils. We have an ambitious vision ‘Building community and Inspiring learning, to create a truly integrated and inclusive system of outstanding education for all young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Our SEND Support and Training Service, which contributes to our vision of ‘Building Community; Inspiring Learning’ supports the advancement of excellence in education for young people with special educational needs and disabilities in Wiltshire and beyond.
Silverwood School is proud to be a Values Based Education (VBE) School. We place our shared values at the heart of everything we do. Our values are principles that guide all our actions, decisions and relationships. At Silverwood School, we have chosen cooperation, courage, honesty, perseverance, respect and kindness as our six shared values. VBE goes beyond learning what our values mean; it encompasses living and experiencing our values every day.
At Silverwood we seek to create an inclusive community, in which each individual is cared for and challenged, by high expectations, to reach their full potential.
To achieve this, we provide a positive and creative learning environment, which incorporates a rich and varied programme of experiences and opportunities, both in school and within the wider community. This enables all students to experience success that can be celebrated and valued, thereby developing a positive attitude to learning and life.
We aim to teach the skills of communication, social awareness and independent living so that our students can establish a meaningful role in society. We believe that it is important to develop students’ confidence and self-esteem, together with appropriate skills, values and attitudes. This can empower them to take full advantage of their life chances, become valued and valuable members of society, and meet the challenges ahead.
Silverwood School is committed to ensure that all students and staff are given the opportunity to be the best that they can be. We aim to achieve the following using our core values as the vehicle that drives this commitment. Through attending and working at Silverwood School everybody will:
1. Flourish, develop their interdependence and autonomy, and be prepared for the future
2. Believe in their ability, be the best they can and achieve their full potential
3. Be inspired, have the opportunity to understand the wider world and experience success
4. Be given a voice, be heard and be treated and valued as an individual
5. Have a sense of belonging, feel safe and confident, and learn how to keep themselves and each other safe
