Staff

All of our centres are lead by highly experienced qualified teachers.  We have a high number of qualified, specialist teachers in our staff team. All staff are highly experienced in working with young people and a passion for working with pupils who struggle to access mainstream education.

Our staff are supported by a number of volunteers who work one to one with the students. Our volunteers include retired teachers and others from a suitable background.

The Principal is Amanda Woodward (BSc, PGCE). She qualified as a teacher in 2000. She has experience as Assistant Headteacher in two different secondary schools, Head of House, Head of Science and Head of Chemistry.  She has vast experience of teaching pupils with challenging behaviour and other additional needs.  As an adoptive parent to a child with disabilities, she is passionate and experienced in calm, therapeutic approaches to education, particularly working with pupils with attachment difficulties and those with ASD.

​You can find details of our staff, and how to contact them, below.

All VLC staff and volunteers are recruited in accordance with safer recruitment procedures and work under the VLC Safeguarding Policy, which is available here. ​

If you are interested in volunteering or employment opportunities, please get in contact. Specific vacancies will be advertised here when they are available.​
