Woodcroft School

Established in 1963, Woodcroft is owned and directed by the family of two of the founders. An independent SEN primary day school, Woodcroft is set in beautiful garden surroundings in Epping Forest on the outskirts of north east London.

Woodcroft is approved by the DfE for up to 50 pupils between 5 and 13 who rely on our highly specialist multidisciplinary staff team of around 70 people. Our pupils have severe and complex needs including severe learning delay; Autism; ADHD; mental health conditions; emotional, social and behavioural difficulties; communication difficulties; trauma; and medical conditions.

In March 2023 Ofsted judged the school to have met independent school standards and to be good in its overall effectiveness and in respect of the individual criteria. We aim to be recognised by all as an outstanding school.

Woodcroft’s independence allows for quick, flexible and sometimes innovative responses to the changing needs of its pupils. The school enjoys a very positive culture and excellent working relationships with parents and sending authorities, which results in the school normally being well subscribed.

Woodcroft is a great place to work, with a friendly welcoming team, lovely forest surroundings and a unique homely atmosphere.
