Willoughby Primary School Information

Willoughby Primary School provides an outstanding, all round education, delivered within a caring, 'family' environment. We recognise as a priority the need to promote the highest standards of teaching and learning and help every child in their progress and attainment. Much of what we aspire to will be true to all schools, for example an emphasis on teaching and learning to raise achievement levels, but we have included what is unique to Willoughby. Following our 'Outstanding' Ofsted (Dec 2006), and interim assessment of 2010, we have a vision for our school which strives to sustain and develop further our outstanding achievements. School seeks to maintain a central role in the life of the village and develop close community links. As a small school we wish to maintain a family ethos, where there is a real community spirit, where staff have good knowledge of and relationships with children and families. We also wish to develop our collaboration within the family of South Wolds schools. Everyone - children and adults - are valued and have a real sense of worth. Children are allowed to enjoy childhood. Learning is an enjoyable experience and a sense of fun is included in much that we do. Children and staff show respect, and good standards of discipline are evident. Excellence is encouraged in all, and we seek to praise achievements and build self-esteem. In pursuit of our vision we aim to maintain our high standards and provide a broad curriculum. ICT Vision 2015 will help to support the school in further developing ICT, although recognising that ICT should be employed where it offers the best method of teaching and learning as we value a variety of approaches.
