A nurturing space built with love
West Woods Centre was born from lived experience. Our principal Ferzana, a speech therapist and special needs mother herself, experienced the isolation that families often face — and decided to build something different.
Together with Kate More, she created a centre where every family is welcomed with love, compassion, and empathy. “We might not always have the answer at West Woods, but we will hold your hand on the path to find them.”
Education shaped around your child
We believe in holistic, personalised education that honours each child's unique way of experiencing and engaging with the world.
Individualised Educational Plans (IEPs)
Each learner receives a carefully crafted plan that integrates their academic and therapeutic goals. We tailor methods to meet every student's unique needs — academically, emotionally, and developmentally.
Specialised Education
Our educators hold therapeutic backgrounds, ensuring learner-specific accommodations are naturally woven into daily teaching. Full access to the D-CAPS curriculum within a supportive, adapted environment.
CVI-Adapted Classrooms
Classrooms are designed for children with Cortical Visual Impairment — minimal wall decor, solid-colour furniture, and adaptive curtains that allow precise control of lighting gradients.
Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC)
We support children who use alternative forms of communication, ensuring every voice is heard, respected, and actively developed within their individual communication profile.
Spaces designed for every sense
Every corner of West Woods Centre is thoughtfully designed — calm, accessible, and purpose-built for our learners.
Specialists who truly care
Our team combines therapeutic expertise with genuine compassion — because great education is built on both.
