Governors
Welcome
Dear Parents,
At Willowcroft we aim to provide a caring, stimulating, and healthy learning environment in which all pupils are given the opportunity to achieve their full potential. We are proud of our reputation as an inclusive, friendly and welcoming school.
We strongly value our partnerships with parents and aspire to involve you in your child’s education and development.
Together we work with the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team to ensure that Willowcroft children get the education they deserve. We set the school's strategic direction, objectives and budget. In line with the key principles of good governance, we challenge and support the Headteacher to raise standards.
All the school's Directors are proud of the school, the teachers, support staff and the pupils, who make excellent progress while they are at the school.
Please let us know if you have any concerns we can help with. You can contact us by emailing the school clerk.
