The Willows Primary School first opened as Downing Primary school in 1968, but in more recent years has become known as The Willows Primary School. Since September 2018, the school moved from single or one and a half form entry to two form entry across the whole the of school. Currently the number of pupils on roll is increasing.
The school was inspected by Ofsted in January 2020, who commented that, “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) now have their needs identified and met well in English and mathematics. Teaching assistants have been trained well to support learning. As a result, the attendance and behaviour of pupils with SEND has improved.” They also recognised that, “Leaders have worked hard and effectively over the last four terms to dramatically improve provision. There has been significant training to improve the general approach to teaching.” and that, “Pupils enjoy being at this school. Most attend well and are keen to learn. Staff expect pupils to behave well at all times.”
The school is within easy reach from both the A12 and A14, as well as being only a twenty minute walk from Ipswich Train Station.
The school itself is located in one of the most deprived wards in Ipswich and has a much higher than average number of pupils who qualify for Pupil Premium (53%). The percentage of pupils with English as an additional language has been increasing in recent years and is around 22% currently.
Within the school there are 15 classrooms all equipped with large touchscreens, and additional teaching spaces (classrooms) that are used for booster lessons, small group work and music lessons. We also have a number of smaller rooms used for group work, a library, school hall, sports dome, two playgrounds, a large field and our own school forest (which is used for forest school sessions).
The school has a very nurturing and inclusive ethos. We have a full-time learning mentor and a Thrive practitioner to support the emotional well-being of our pupils.
Our pupils are delightful, polite, caring and want to learn. Some come from challenging home backgrounds and school can be their one safe place. A lot of work has recently gone into developing the pupil’s learning behaviours and oracy skills, as many start in EYFS with very low language skills.
The Willows is part of Orwell Multi Academy Trust, a primary based Trust with schools in and around Ipswich.
