Ofsted Inspection Report

"Pupils are justly proud of their school"

On October 4th and 5th 2023, The Willink warmly welcomed His Majesty’s Ofsted Inspection team, and the results are in! We're thrilled to share the final published report, affirming that The Willink "continues to be a good school" and is described as "an exciting school... offering so many opportunities to inspire the children. It’s a great place to learn and grow."

This ungraded inspection, conducted every four years, was a rigorous and robust process spanning two days. We're proud that the inspection highlighted the strengths of our school, emphasizing the culture of care created by our committed staff. Their collaborative efforts in delivering an ambitious curriculum and providing 'first-class' opportunities for personal development ensure that all students, including those with SEND or from disadvantaged backgrounds, can flourish.

A heartfelt thank you to every member of our school community—staff, students, parents, and governors—for your vital contributions to our continued success. Your joint effort creates a thriving learning environment at The Willink.

As we celebrate our achievements, our commitment to improvement remains unwavering. We will build on our strengths and address areas for development, ensuring excellence in all aspects of our provision.

Please see the letter Ms Browning shared with parents/carers where she reflected on the report.
