Woodcroft School

Welcome to Woodcroft – a north east London primary school for pupils with autism and complex educational needs. We hope you enjoy our website and find what you are looking for.

Genni, Woodcroft’s occupational therapist, interviews pupil H about things she enjoys about school.

At Woodcroft we employ two full-time speech and language therapists. They work directly with pupils and support the staff team to ensure that effective strategies are in place across the school. They are available for home or school visits as part of admission and transition procedures.

This picture was taken in 1963 during our first autumn term. You can see two of the founders, Keith Reynolds and Jane Edwards, standing by the steps to what is now Oak class. The girl in the centre of the picture wearing a white patterned jumper is Jane’s daughter Genni, who along with her brothers Ben and Daniel, is still closely involved with the management of the school.

In March 2017 we won the National Autistic Society Excellence Award for our school transport service. The school’s positive approach now extends to daily home to school transport for pupils who may find travel a barrier to attending school.
