The Willows Primary School values the individuality of all children. We are committed to giving all our children every opportunity to achieve the highest of standards. This is reflected in our school values and mission statement. We do this by taking account of pupils' varied life experiences and needs. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum and have high expectations of all our children. The achievements, attitudes and well being of all our children matter. This policy helps to ensure that the school promotes the individuality of all our children, irrespective of ethnicity, attainment, age, disability, gender or background.
