Being the Headteacher of Northcroft School—a nurturing, forward-thinking therapeutic primary setting—is a true privilege.

Northcroft offers a vibrant and supportive learning environment where every child is encouraged to thrive. Our mission is simple: no child is left behind. We empower our pupils to grow in confidence, develop their strengths, and gain the skills they need to lead independent and fulfilling lives.

Our dedicated team is passionate about making a lasting difference. We aim to give every child the strongest possible start to their educational journey, fostering a lifelong love of learning and preparing them for the next exciting stages of their development.

We want every child to feel inspired by their learning and motivated to be the very best version of themselves.

Our talented and compassionate staff work closely with families and carers to ensure that each child feels safe, supported, and successful in all aspects of school life. We believe in the power of strong relationships and a nurturing approach to help children flourish both academically and emotionally.

Many of our pupils have experienced challenges in their early education, and we are committed to understanding each child’s unique story. At Northcroft, we pride ourselves on being a warm, welcoming, and happy school where children feel secure, valued, and fully engaged in their learning.

Education is a partnership, and we deeply value the collaboration between home, school, and professionals. As your child progresses through Northcroft, we look forward to building strong, positive relationships with you.

If you would like to visit us, we would be delighted to welcome you and show you what makes Northcroft such a special place.
