Headteacher's Address

Headteacher Welcome

Hello, my name is Ms Emily Beer and I am very proud to lead Willingdon Community School.

I am incredibly saddened that we are unable to hold our usual Open Day/Evening events due to the government guidance issued to schools. We hope, through the amazing technology that we have at our disposal, to give you a flavour of our school ethos and vision. We have a number of resources available for you to peruse at your leisure.

Willingdon Community School has been a very popular and oversubscribed school with a fine reputation for helping every child achieve, irrespective of ability of background. Our OFSTED reports over the last ten years have confirmed that we are a consistently Good School with outstanding provision for behaviour, attendance and safeguarding.

Developing Personal Excellence is at the heart of everything that we seek to achieve at Willingdon. Our staff pride themselves on being life-long learners and modelling to our students the personal excellence values of ambition, respect, compassion, courtesy and honesty. We work in close partnership with our student and parent body who help the leadership team and the governors drive the vision of the school. Our overarching goal is to help students be the very best version of themselves, achieve their academic potential but most importantly, develop into well rounded citizens who have their own identity and become active participants in our society.

Our examination success speaks for itself with regular yearly results in line or above national average. We have some departments such as Design Technology, Food and Nutrition and Art performing at the level of some of the best departments in the country.

We hope you enjoyed the materials we have  put together for you. We also look forward to meeting you through our forums which will happen the week beginning Monday 28th September.

I wish all Year 6 the very best of luck with their choice of secondary school. It is such an important step in your lives! We hope you choose Willingdon where you will be happy, safe and able to achieve your very best with a strong support network around you.
