Willow Brook Primary School Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 September 2023

Pupils feel fortunate to attend Willow Brook. They are happy and kept safe here. Pupils are all expected to work hard, engage in thoughtful discussion and speak to one another kindly. They rise to these high expectations. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. On the rare occasion there might be disputes, pupils feel listened to and well supported by staff to deal with them. Pupils develop as confident, reflective communicators, and lessons are abuzz with purposeful learning conversations. Pupils learn an ambitious and rich curriculum that prepares them very well for the next stage of their education. Pupils here thoroughly enjoy reading, both collectively during class story time or privately in the many beautiful reading spaces established around the school. They enjoy a truly inspirational environment that has been carefully constructed to inspire learning and enrich pupils' experiences and aspirations. Pupils value the vast range of opportunities that are open to them. They benefit from being able to participate in numerous sporting and cultural events with other schools in the trust. They especially enjoy hosting the trust's 'Arts Festival'. They are rightly proud that their school is extremely 'creative' and that it achieves well in English and mathematics.
