Our Strategic Vision:
To be a centre of excellence for pupils with SEMH difficulties, providing a safe space to engage in a culture of learning, personal growth, achieving to the best of our abilities and working together as part of the Willow Bank Community.
We believe that:
- Learning to respect ourselves, others, and the school environment is the foundation of preparedness for adulthood (LEARN)
- Every step of personal growth is a victory, no matter how small (GROW)
- All children love to learn, and once we've captured their interest, we can support them to achieve to the best of their ability (ACHIEVE)
- Every child is an individual, and developing a trusting, positive relationship with each pupil is the key to engagement in education (TOGETHER)
