Toni Woods – Head of Service

As the Head of Service at Options Barton, my role is to provide strategic leadership for children’s services.

I have worked within the local authority and independent residential SEND schools for over 20 years and have extensive SEN knowledge and experience, supporting children and young people with a range of needs including those with Autism and complex needs.

Options Barton is a happy, caring, respectful and welcoming environment, in which staff utilise their expert skills and knowledge. It is a privilege to work with the children and young people and the whole staff team and we are dedicated to improving the lives of our children and young people and their families, through outstanding education.

I hope that our website gives you a snapshot of Options Barton and what we offer here.  We encourage families and professionals to visit and look forward to giving you a warm welcome to our school so that you can see for yourself the difference that we make in the lives of the children and young people that we educate.
