Welcome to Woodeaton Manor!

Welcome to Woodeaton Manor School. We are a daytime and residential Foundation Special School that offers a nurturing environment for 84 pupils. All our pupils have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP). All our pupils have severe emotional and social difficulties. We are able to offer places for pupils in Key Stages 2/3/4/5.

Woodeaton Manor caters for a wide range of special educational needs, including the following diagnosed or described conditions:

  • Attachment Difficulty
  • Autistic Spectrum Disorder, including Asperger’s Syndrome
  • Dyspraxia
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Specific Learning Difficulties, i.e. Dyslexia
  • Speech and Language Disorder
  • Tourettes Syndrome

A large proportion of pupils have mental health issues and require extended support from a range of multi-professional services.

Woodeaton has extended its age limits twice since its re-designation. In 2009 Woodeaton established its Sixth Form provision and in June 2012, Woodeaton lowered the age limit to admit six Key Stage 2 age pupils who are taught in ‘The Nest’. Woodeaton also became a Foundation School on 1st April 2008.
