Welcome to Springfield House School.
An introduction to Springfield House School
Springfield House is a Birmingham LA special school.
Our provision is targeted to meet the special educational needs of young people, aged 5 -11, who experience social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
In previous settings our pupils have exhibited behaviours that challenge, which are frequently associated with a wide range of complex conditions, including ASC, ADHD and Attachment Disorder. They have also experienced significant disruption to their education due to multiple school moves, fixed term and permanent exclusions and long periods of part-time or no placement in a school.
We provide a nurturing environment, where we support children to develop strategies to manage their responses appropriately. We seek to celebrate successes and achievements to build self-confidence and esteem, whilst allowing space and time to reflect on the issues that prevent their full social inclusion.
We use our PROUD roots at Springfield House School to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. These roots are:
Positive (I know my steps and where I am going)
Resilient (When things don’t go to plan I will repair and put it right)
Open Minded (I am ready to learn from others and share my ideas)
Understanding (Good choices leads to more choices)
Diverse (All different, all equal, all welcome)

Magic Fairy Picnic - Birch Class
On a sunny but cold Wednesday afternoon the children had a delivery from the postman. It was a letter from the Fairies to say that they love visiting forest school so much , that they have decided to move in . The fairies invited the children to come and visit them . The children's imaginations were ignited with the thought of searching for a fairy. They put on their wellies and coats and explored the site looking for clues! To their amazement, there was fairy dust everywhere!
The children loved playing the with the pieces that made up the fairy village. They started to construct and deconstruct the village for them and use all the pieces to make their own mini locations. It was an excellent opportunity for them to engage in imaginative play. The fairies even had tea and fruit on the little table for everyone to enjoy!.

Thank you to NEWLIFE for their kind donation of clothes to our school.
Taken from their website - Joining forces with well-known high street brands like River Island, The White Company, Ted Baker and more has allowed us to do something unique: sell brand new clothes at a fraction of the original price.
Brands play their part by donating surplus stock to us, increasing its lifespan and preventing it from ending up in landfills.
And you can play yours by simply making a purchase. Every purchase made in Newlife stores or online makes a difference. 100% of our profits help disabled children and their families access much-needed specialist equipment.
Do something good. Shop in-store or online today.
