Miss Tracey Parton
Assistant Headteacher/SENDCo/ SLT/Deputy DSL/ EAL/PP Lead
Since joining Stratford Primary in 2018, I’ve taken on a range of roles including SENDCo, Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, and now Assistant Headteacher. I’m a passionate, experienced teacher with a love for inclusive, child-led education—and I feel proud to work in a school that lives those values every day.
With a degree in Education and specialist training in areas such as autism, trauma, neurodiversity and mental health, I lead on SEND with a focus on early intervention, collaboration and care. I work closely with staff, families and professionals including speech therapists, OTs and educational psychologists to ensure support is tailored, joined-up and effective.
I’ve built strong relationships with local organisations and external agencies, and I’m always looking for ways to enhance opportunities for our children and their families.
I’m also the staff governor here at Stratford and serve as a governor in another school. This has given me a valuable perspective on school leadership and strengthened my role as Assistant Head.
As Deputy DSL, safeguarding is at the heart of my work—I believe every child should feel safe, seen and supported in order to thrive.
Outside of school, I’m a mum to three grown children, a dog-lover, and a big fan of countryside walks and children’s books!
