Who's Who
Jade Allan - SENDCo
Hello, I am the SENDCo at Wood Field. As a SENDCo, I am passionate about ensuring that every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to achieve their very best. In my role, I work closely with pupils, families, and staff to create inclusive learning environments where individual needs are understood and met. My focus is on removing barriers to learning, celebrating diversity, and nurturing every child’s strengths and potential.
If you’d like to get in touch or discuss any aspect of our SEND provision, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Zoe Drew - ELSA
My name is Mrs Zoe Drew, and I am excited to introduce myself as the school’s new Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) in training.
In this role, I am dedicated to supporting the emotional well-being and social development of our pupils. Children learn best when they feel safe, valued, and understood, and my aim is to provide a warm, supportive space where students can build confidence, manage their emotions, develop positive relationships, and navigate life's challenges.
Whether through one-on-one sessions, targeted check-ins, or small group activities, I look forward to working closely with our staff, students, and parents to help every child thrive emotionally and academically across the school community.
Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to learn more about ELSA support or have any questions!
