Vision, Ethos & Values

At the end of the Willowfield experience, our children can compete with anyone, anywhere, professionally and personally, in the world that is their future.

  • Our school is a safe, happy, exciting place - a vibrant learning hub at the heart of our community

  • The pupil and the learner is at the heart of everything we do - we are driven by the core belief that schools exist for children

  • Our pupils are cared for, nurtured and challenged, enabling them to thrive and flourish, making great progress as learners and people

  • We are ambitious and aspirational, inspired by the belief that our pupils will achieve the most amazing things

  • Great lessons complemented by learning experiences beyond the classroom challenge and inspire everyone, whatever their starting point to be the best they can be

  • We celebrate success at all levels but address and challenge and intervene immediately when pupils are not hitting the heights they could reach

  • We are a truly International school that celebrates the wonderful diversity of our school community and embraces the wonderful opportunities from being in the heart of the greatest International City

  • Difficult beginnings and barriers for our young people are explored and we support them to deal and overcome them

  • A difficult start on their learning journey or lack of family support is never an excuse for underachievement

  • We are a school where pupils’ possibilities are not limited by the experiences, aspirations and horizons of their families 

  • The learning journey for our pupils is a short one where time is precious - there is an embedded culture of healthy impatience to ensure that we never process underachievement

  • Everyone in the school is proud to be at Willowfield and work together to contribute to the great community that is Willowfield

  • Staff at all levels and in all roles are committed to giving pupils the best possible nurturing and challenging experience

  • We are reflective, outward facing professionals perennially committed to exploring how we can make the Willowfield experience even better

  • Every member of staff is on their own learning journey and we are committed to growing and nurturing everyone in the school community within a learning culture where all have the space to flip from learned to learner

  • Our young people develop into great citizens able to play a full, positive and productive part in the 21st century world

  • At the end of the Willowfield experience, our pupils can compete with anyone, anywhere, professionally and personally, in the world that is their future
