We recommend that prospective students and parents visit on our Open Evening to enjoy the full experience of what Darrick Wood School has to offer.

This is on a first come, first served basis. If you would like to book an appointment, please telephone the School Office on 01689 850271.
Please do not book this appointment if you are going to the Open Evening. The morning appointments are strictly reserved for those that are unable to attend as we have limited spaces.

🎓 2026 Results
Congratulations to our Year 11 and Year 13 students on their results for this academic year. We are proud of their hard work and everything they have achieved during their time at Darrick Wood School.
We provide the highest quality inclusive education founded on our three Core Values of Respect, Responsibility and Honesty and our Vision for Learning which promotes achievement for all. Our overall approach is underpinned by our motto, Revereor Vitam, to have a reverence, or respect for life. 2025/26 marked our 50th anniversary, where we celebrated our rich history, the achievements of generations of pupils, and the strong sense of community that has shaped the School since 1975. As we look ahead, we remain firmly committed to building on this legacy - continuing to provide an exceptional education and ensuring that every young person who joins us can thrive, contribute and feel proud to be part of Darrick Wood School.
