Rebecca Gray

Rebecca Gray – Health & Wellbeing Officer

I have been at Birch Wood School since September 2019, working as a Learning Support Assistant in classes of all ages and varying abilities. I was appointed as Health and Well-being Officer in January 2020.

Sarah Alldridge – Home School Link Worker

I began my position of Home School Link Worker in November 2017. My role is to support you and your child as a positive link between home and school. As the Home School Link Worker I offer support and advice to families of the children who attend our school whilst having the ability to signpost you to relevant and required agencies. I can support you in our parent’s room or in some circumstances I can come out to your home to discuss any concerns or to assist you with completing and checking any forms. 

Sarah Alldridge

Rebecca, Julie and I have a good communication link between ourselves, SLT and teaching staff to ensure that all of our Birch Wood School, Birch Wood Vale students and their families are receiving the support that they require.

If you are a potential parent or carer who is thinking of applying for a place here for your child then please feel free to contact me so that we can discuss your child’s needs and arrange a tour of the school.
