School Closed
Woodcroft will be closed to pupils on Thursday 27th April due to industrial action by the National Education Union.
We have assessed the likely impact of the NEU strike action at Woodcroft and notified parents and carers that school will be closed to pupils on Thursday 2nd March.
Over the past two weeks your teachers have been hosting online year group information evenings. If you were unable to attend any of the meetings, or would like to remind yourself of the key points, please download a PDF of the slides by clicking the links below.
Teachers will also be holding individual consultation sessions on the 5th and 7th of October. More information to follow.

Safety In Our Local Parks
Burnt Oak schools are keen to support our local communities following the recent events at Montrose and more general issues with park safety. We are responding to ongoing concerns that have been expressed by our pupils in class, and our families at the school gate.
Local Headteachers wrote a letter to Barnet Council about these concerns. We are pleased to report that support has now been offered to our pupils through safety talks, workshops and counselling for those in need.
However, worries still remain in relation to our families and their ability to safely access the local parks and open spaces, especially as we approach the summer holidays.
Burnt Oak schools want our communities to have a voice! We have joined together to create a short questionnaire to collect your views. Your responses will then be put to Barnet leadership at a special schools’ forum to be held before the end of term.
We now need as many families as possible to complete our questionnaire! Click here …

Links will also be sent out by email and text. It only takes 5 minutes so why not do it now!
We want all of our children to feel safe. We want our families to feel heard! Please take part in our questionnaire. Thank you.
A warm welcome to all of our new families.
We shall be hosting our meeting for new families on Friday 25th June at 9.30am.
