Student Services

In my role I am dedicated to ensuring that every student feels supported and valued in our school community. My role encompasses a variety of initiatives aimed at fostering an inclusive environment where all children can thrive.

I am incredibly proud of our pastoral support team which encompasses Student Services, First Aid, Reset Room, the ASCEND programme, The NEST and our Restorative & Reflective room. I feel incredibly honoured to work with such an amazing team of people who are dedicated to supporting our students' wellbeing.
Every member of the team works closely with our students and their families to address any barriers to education, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to engage fully in their learning journey.

I am a mum to my 29 year old son and a step mum to my 15 year old step daughter. My family is everything to me and I love spending quality time together with them.

Kindness is my favourite of the Wildern attributes. Kindness is free and it can make such a difference to how people feel. Kindness spreads kindness.
There is a quote that sums up how I respond to people in every aspect of my life.

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Students can find me in my office at the top of block 3 if they ever need a chat.

In a world where you can be anything, always be kind!

Hello! I’m Ms Duck the Head of Student Services/Student Hub. I have been working at Wildern for 8 years. My role is to help ensure that every student feels supported, valued, and able to thrive during their time at Wildern. I oversee the Student Hub, where my team and I support students, from wellbeing and pastoral care to attendance, behaviour, uniform, and day-to-day school life. No two days are ever the same, and I enjoy working with students to help them overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.

I love working with young people and being part of the Wildern community.

I have three children, two of them attended Wildern, my son is 25 and works for a local firm, my middle daughter is 19 and is studying at a performing arts university, and my youngest daughter is 13 and is currently in Year 9.

Outside of school, I enjoy cooking with my partner, exercising, and taking long walks with him and our dog Dexter.

I believe building positive relationships is at the heart of a happy school community, so if you see me around the Student Hub, please come and say hello!

I love this quote: “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says ‘I’m possible!'”

Hi, I am Miss Langdown and I am a Behavioural Support Officer at Wildern School. I have worked here for almost 3 years and I am so proud to be part of such a caring, friendly and supportive team and so privileged to be surrounded by our amazing students.

Being a Mum of 4 incredible teenagers, I totally appreciate the pressures that young people face in today's society. Family is everything to me and I love spending time with my children.

My emotional, social and psychological well being and the well being of my children is vital. It is so important to look after yourself inside and out.

To help achieve this, I workout regularly, which includes pilates and swimming. I eat healthily and ensure I have a good sleeping pattern. I have started to meditate and practice mindfulness, which helps maintain awareness and appreciate the life I have.

I am a big fan of Wim Hoff so I practise his breathing techniques and have cold showers to help kick start my days!

One of my favourite quotes is:
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why they call it “The Present”

You can find me in Student Services which is in the Student Hub in block 6. I look forward to meeting you. The door is always open.

Hi, I am Miss Avery and I have been the Attendance Officer at Wildern School for just over a year.

Professionally, I am proud to say that I passed my BA Hons Degree in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy with First Class Honours, whilst I was working as a Youth Support Counsellor within schools in Romsey. This counselling background has been invaluable in developing a necessary understanding of the multifaceted and diverse world that our kids live in, which can be so tough to navigate and experience for them.

I feel that I have been able to use my skill as a counsellor in my role as Attendance Officer in my communication with students feeling vulnerable for any reason. I have regular contact with students each morning and I am really enjoying building positive and supportive relationships with them. I hope these connections help students feel valued, supported and encouraged to attend school regularly and arrive on time, reducing stress upon them and their parents.

I am a mum to four intelligent, witty, loving and diverse young people, who make me proud every day. They remind me that, even though the world for young people can be difficult, it can also be exciting, interesting and unique.

One of my favourite quotes is: “There’s no fate but what we make for ourselves” (Sarah Connor).

You can find me in the Student Services office which is in block 6.

Hello! My name is Mrs Parsons, and I'm one of the First Aiders here at Wildern. I have worked here for 4 years within the Pastoral team.

I have two wonderful children, who attend Wildern. A 15-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son, who are both football crazy! My husband is a referee and football coach, so needless to say; our household is never quiet!

Kindness is a gift everyone can afford to give.

You can find me in the First Aid Room, within the Student Hub.

Hi everyone, I’m Miss Cooper. I have worked at Wildern for 6 years now! A lot of you might know me from previously working in student services where I would support all staff and students within the school.

I am now proud to say I have the role of managing The Nest which is one of our alternative provisions here at Wildern. I have worked very hard to achieve this role and I am so excited to start this new adventure. In The Nest we work with students who struggle in the main school environment. We do this by Nurturing, Engaging, Supporting and Teaching each student. . I love working in The Nest as I get to build incredible relationships with amazing students who just need a little more time and understanding, and make a difference to their school life.

I live with my partner who is in the Navy. He is often away working so I have a lot of time to myself. During this time I look after my wellbeing. I do this by:
● Colouring - especially disney colour by numbers
● Spending time with my family
● Cooking
● Watching football - both on television and going to matches.

A quote I love is: “Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle”

Hello my name is Mrs Page and my role of Inclusion manager is to ensure when sanctions are put in place as part of our school behaviour policy that the students still have the opportunity to continue with their learning while reflecting on their behaviour.
