Vision & Values

Our Purpose
Our Mission
Values
The core purpose of Willowfield Academy is to ensure all children are equipped for the next stage of their educational lives and to provide them with experiences and positive moments that last a lifetime.
Our aim is that children and young people learn and develop the skills and character required to foster confidence, curiosity, creativity and empathy. We believe this will provide them with the confidence necessary to embrace life’s challenges.
Willowfield staff are unwavering in their belief that all children deserve a second chance and with the right resource, leadership and support, they are well placed and ready for the next phase of improvement. Pupils achieve well above expectations in special school settings, often due to the outstanding experience during the primary stage, which is built on as they progress through school.

Admissions

The Local Authority and schools in Nottingham City have worked together to develop Nottingham City Schools Provision Maps. These maps provide a framework for provision in Nottingham and show interventions that it is reasonable for schools to provide to pupils identified with SEND.

What Pupils & Parents are saying

Getting an education is really important to me, and my relationships with teachers are better now I attend Willowfield Academy. I like going in the games room at break and I really like cooking.

I like how the teachers get stuck in and play football with us. Mr Casey is good to have as my teacher because he is funny, the jokes make it easier to learn.

I like that you can be yourself at school without being judged by anyone. My favourite lessons are maths, English, Science, Art and PSHE. Rewards and snacks in class are the best!

The school is brilliant at communicating and working together with parents. I love that so many members of staff know my son’s name and make him feel part of the school.

The school helps my child and gives him a safe place to learn. Teachers always check in to give me feedback on how his day has been and if there have been any issues they are promptly dealt with in a respectful way.

Willowfield Academy consistently delivers exceptional support, ensuring that every child’s educational, emotional, and social needs are fully met. The school creates a nurturing and inclusive environment where pupils feel valued, supported, and empowered to achieve their full potential.

Thank you for making my child more confident and happy. He has achieved more in two years than he did in six years in his previous schools!
