Verdict *
Good
“Pupils are justly proud of their school. They benefit from a highly ambitious curriculum and broad range of subjects. Staff and pupils are enthused by the school’s ‘Village School, Global Outlook’ vision and the many opportunities on offer. Pupils typically enjoy school and achieve well. As one parent said, ‘The Willink is an exciting school and offers so many opportunities to inspire the children. It’s a great place to learn and grow.’ … The school is committed to ensuring that all pupils can be successful, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils. Staff have worked together effectively to forge an ambitious curriculum.”
