Willingdon Community School places 'Developing Personal Excellence' at the heart of everything they do
All students leave the school not only having achieved their personal best academically, but also as well-rounded members of society. They pride themselves on offering an ambitious curriculum with excellent teaching and learning which sets the students up for success in the next stages of their education. The six principles of nurture are key to their learning environment and they believe it is their duty to embed these in their teaching and support practices, in order to help all children make exceptional progress whilst in their care.
Their enrichment programme is key to the students’ experience of school. They host trips to Alpendorf in Austria, Barcelona in Spain, Nepal, Krakow in Poland, Morfa Bay in Wales and are currently planning a trip to Canada. Learning is also delivered outside of the classroom. Staff devote a significant amount of their time to running after school clubs, sporting fixtures, theatre trips and cultural activities. Whatever your child’s talent and skill set, they look forward to supporting and developing their abilities further.
They have a well-established transition process at Willingdon Community School. They work closely with local primary schools to ensure the move into secondary is seamless. There are two transition days with extra transition opportunities for those who may require a little more support. Parents and carers are crucial to Willingdon’s success too. They ensure you are included and kept informed throughout the educational journey.
