Curriculum Intent

At Willowfield Academy, our intent is to Prepare every child for Adulthood by developing the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to live with Independence and purpose.

We recognise that many of our pupils have experienced disrupted learning. Therefore, we provide pupils with a curriculum that reconnects them with success.
