Woodcroft School

Woodcroft School is open as part of the the UK government’s plan to provide support for vulnerable children. We are liaising with parents, carers and sending authorities about maintaining provision both in school and at home.

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.

The speech and language therapist at Woodcroft works directly with pupils and supports the staff team to ensure that effective strategies are in place across the school. She is available for home or school visits as part of our admission and transition procedures.

One of the reasons children learn so well here at Woodcroft is because of our beautiful surroundings. We are located at the edge of Epping Forest, which is an ancient woodland that still belongs to the people of London.

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.
