At Willoughby Road, we want all of our pupils to become the very best people they can be. We want them to: become well-rounded, knowledgeable citizens who are as well prepared as possible for life ahead; recognise and celebrate their own uniqueness and that of others; be proud of who they are; confidently communicate their knowledge, views and dreams effectively. Our personal development offer and personal, social and health education curriculum provide opportunities and learning to help our pupils achieve these ambitions. Our offer opens up a wide range of opportunities, experiences and activities that pupils can take part and achieve in, that will help them to gather opinions about, and make informed choices about, the world around them.

We prepare our pupils for the wider world and value their contributions to our community. Through a democratic voting process, pupils select from their peers each year and leadership teams are formed, with members from every year group in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. In Nursery and Reception, pupils are given opportunity to develop their leadership skills by undertaking roles of responsibility in the classroom. Look out for pupils wearing lanyards in school with their Willoughby Road Leadership ID Badge!

These badges are awarded throughout the year to pupils who demonstrate exceptional attitudes to learning and live every day in the Willoughby Way! Look out for pupils wearing emerald green lanyards.
