Willow Grove Primary is a welcoming place where pupils are happy. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They have an opportunity to have breakfast and social time when they arrive in the morning. This helps them to be ready for learning. For many pupils, education has been disrupted, and they consequently have gaps in their learning. Staff provide appropriate support to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Overall, pupils achieve well in many subjects. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils rise to these expectations. They generally behave well in lessons and around the school. Pupils are typically respectful to each other and staff. Most pupils are attentive in lessons. Pupils feel safe. They develop positive relationships with each other and with staff. On the very rare occasions when bullying occurs, staff deal with it effectively. Pupils are clear about who they should speak to if they are worried about anything. Pupils’ personal development is an important priority for leaders. Pupils benefit from a wide range of activities, such as swimming, talent competitions and trips to museums and outdoor residential centres. This helps to broaden their experiences and improve their confidence. Pupils enjoy raising money to support charities. They spoke positively about taking on responsibilities, such as being school councillors and members of the eco-committee. Older pupils enjoy supporting younger pupils to improve their football skills.
