School Description

All the students have a statement of special educational needs, or education, health and care plans, for a range of physical disabilities, complex learning needs such as sensory impairments, learning and communication difficulties or complex medical conditions. An above average proportion of students are known to be eligible for additional funding known as pupil premium funding. This is additional government funding for those known to be eligible for free school meals or who are looked after. Nearly a third of pupils speak English as an additional language. There are separate departments for early years, primary, secondary and sixth form provision. The school has a physical disability support service that provides training for schools across Birmingham and support students with physical disabilities in mainstream settings. The school does not use any alternative providers. In September 2013 the 19-25 vocational programme for students was launched in partnership with University College Birmingham. Wilson Stuart School converted to an academy school in July 2012. When its predecessor school, of the same name, was last inspected by Ofsted, it was judged to be outstanding.

Wilson Stuart School Parent Reviews



Average Parent Rating


“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

Our last 5 OFSTED inspections have all resulted in an ’Outstanding’ report the latest taking place in February 2015. We are very proud of our achievements and strive daily to maintain our excellent standards. ”

The leadership and management of the school are outstanding at all levels. The work with parents and numerous community partners is first class.” - Ofsted February 2015
