School Description

Pupils achieve their personal outcomes exceptionally well at Wilson Stuart School. Staff have the highest level of care and expectations for all pupils. As a result, pupils rise to these expectations and are ready for their next stages in education. The school’s curriculum focuses on getting pupils ready for life after Wilson Stuart (LAWS). Learning activities and wider experiences are carefully considered to support pupils’ physical development, communication, interaction and independence, starting from the early years. This means that pupils’ individual needs are exceptionally well understood and well met here. Pupils demonstrate the school’s ‘circle’ values of communication, independence, resilience, confidence, leadership and esteem. For example, pupils are given a range of leadership responsibilities, such as ‘the kindness crew’. These pupils wear a high-visibility jacket and a distinctive yellow lanyard, which makes them stand out. They teach and show other pupils what kindness means and looks like. Pupils know about healthy relationships. This helps to keep them safe. Relationships across the school are highly respectful. Positive relationships are demonstrated by all staff towards each other and towards pupils. Pupils are treated with great dignity and respect at all times. Staff work closely with pupils, parents, carers and specialist external agencies in order to fulfil their roles with exceptional nurture and expertise.

“A parent's first view”


I have just looked at this school for my daughter to join in 6th form and we are both impressed. My daughter is at a special school which is also great but Wilson Stewart could give her a better opportunity to become at least semi independent. The member of staff I have met made us feel welcome and my daughter has made the decision to apply for this school. I am positive that this is the right decision for her and look forward to her joining next year where I hope she will be happy for the next 3 years.

WELCOME TO WILSON STUART

Wilson Stuart is located in Perry Common, Erdington in the north of Birmingham. It caters for 240 pupils aged 2-25 years. Some pupils have additional difficulties including sensory impairment, learning difficulties, communication difficulties or complex medical conditions. We have outstanding purpose built facilities and highly trained, enthusiastic and committed staff. This combination enables us to provide the specialised individual programmes required by our pupils.

Our nursery accommodates up to 12 children. We have separate Primary and Secondary Departments. Our sixth form programme supported by Aston Villa Football Club. Students complete work placements and in September 2013 saw us launch our vocational programme (L.I.V.E. - Lifelong, Inclusive,Vocational Education) for students aged 19-25, which has been developed in partnership with University College Birmingham. The aim: To get more young disabled people the skills to get into work
