Teaching and Learning at The Willows

At The Willows School Academy Trust, we teach the full National Curriculum and seek to give each pupil an outstanding education, tailored to their individual needs.

Through a broad and balanced curriculum, we aim to recognise and develop individual talents, skills and interests. Classroom-based learning is complemented by learning outdoors, educational trips and visitors into school when possible.

If you would like further information on the delivery of the curriculum at The Willows, please contact your child's teacher directly or alternatively contact us here.
