Yewstock School

Welcome to Yewstock School and College

We aim to give every pupil the very best education in an environment which is kind, supportive and fun.

We are very proud of our school values.

We want everyone to achieve, communicate well, show respect, find joy, strive for excellence and to be kind and caring.

You will find lots of information about the school and what we offer our pupils. We have an excellent outreach programme which supports pupils, families and professionals from other schools.

At Yewstock we have a lot of fun, but we are very serious about our work. We are incredibly proud of our school community and I hope that you get a sense of this as you browse our website.

We also use Twitter and Facebook. You can use this to keep up with school news, activities and important information. Please use the icons at the top and bottom of this page.

Thank you for visiting.

What people say about us

It has been great to see the school. All students and staff are happy and welcoming.
2 of the students gave us a very detailed tour and were able to answer all our questions.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see your school and your wonderful facilities.

Lauren and Olivia, Teaching Personnel

The warmth of the staff is very obvious. Children are all so happy and clearly valued and secure.

Visitor

Staff encourage children to reach goals and achieve. You try to meet the individual needs of the children within
the resources available, and therefore make every child important.

Parent

The school is a warm and caring environment which has the right balance of discipline and fun activities. The staff are brilliant at what they do and I think this shows when you meet the beautiful children. It’s a happy place to be in.

Parent

Very impressive. Light and airy. All the kids seem very happy. Very nice. The girls who showed me around were very enthusiastic about it. Especially the hairdressing station. I also liked the ‘bedsit’ area for life skills.
