Strengths
- “Pupils at Willow Primary School enjoy being part of a welcoming, inclusive community where they feel known, valued and cared for.”
- “The school's strong links with the local community and its clear commitment to being a 'school without walls' help pupils develop a genuine sense of belonging.”
- “Pupils celebrate difference, show respect for one another and are encouraged to be confident and aspirational.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, this is not always reflected in the work they produce and their responses.”
- “However, persistent absence has consistently been too high.”
- “Leaders recognise that, while the curriculum is well designed and taught, lesson activities could be refined further to provide additional opportunities for pupils to apply and build on prior learning, particularly in the wider curriculum.”
