Class Teacher

Willow Brook is proud to provide excellent educational experiences for every single child at our inspirational and thriving school. Our holistic and well-rounded approach towards education provides an exceptional foundation for life-long learning, and we ensure that each child has the opportunity to grow in self-confidence, academic success and artistic endeavors. We do this through providing a rigorous curriculum, opportunities for wide-ranging extracurricular provision and ensuring learner-centered lessons.

We are proud members of the Griffin Schools Trust whose vision of Proud Traditions, Wide Horizons and High Achievement has created a family of ambitious and aspirational schools. Great GST schools are built on a broad enrichment programme and high-quality pastoral care, as well as an inspiring curriculum, expertly taught. Parents, staff, and students work in partnership to achieve success.

Life at Willow Brook is an engaging learning journey, the experiences gained providing a lasting value. Children understand what it means to be a part of the Trusts wider ‘Griffin family’. Our schools are happy schools where our pupils feel a sense of belonging and pride, show respect for all and always aim to be the very best they can be.
