About Willow Wood Community Nursery and Primary School
Willow Wood Community Primary School is a happy and successful learning community where everybody is welcomed, supported, and challenged to achieve their best.
We aim to create an open and welcoming learning community, where all voices are valued and listened to. We provide excellent teaching and learning opportunities within a broad, balanced, and enriching curriculum so our children develop as happy, well-balanced, caring individuals who can make good decisions for themselves and their world.
Willow Wood is set in spacious grounds equipped with a good range of outdoor facilities to support learning; outdoor classrooms; a wooden trim trail; play equipment, a pond, a woodland, and even an outdoor amphitheatre created by the children, which is perfect for rolling down!
The indoor learning environment has a campus feel and consists of 3 buildings named by the children as - the Snowflake Building, the Sunshine Building, and the Rainbow Building. The classrooms are all generously proportioned, light, and airy. There are two halls, an art studio, library areas, and community spaces - we are very fortunate to have so much space to carry out our fun, investigative approach to learning.
