School Description

The Willoughby School caters for pupils with learning difficulties ranging from severe to profound and multiple and over a third have autism. Nearly all pupils have a statement of special educational needs and a few are undergoing assessment for one. Most pupils are from White British backgrounds and an above average proportion are eligible for the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for children in local authority care and pupils known to be eligible for free school meals. The school provides a support and intervention service for parents of very young children. Its partnership with a local academy offers Willoughby pupils, particularly the gifted and talented, opportunities for inclusion. Outdoor facilities, including the creation of a sensory garden, have improved since the last inspection. A new sensory integration room has also been built within the school. The school has recently developed outreach support in autism for primary and secondary schools in the local area. Since the last inspection, a new deputy headteacher has been appointed and the governing body has been strengthened.
