Our school is rated as Good by OfSTED and was inspected in December 2021.

It is our pleasure to share the report from OfSTED below. The report is an excellent recognition of the hard work at Willow Farm Primary School. Staff, governors, children and parents deserve great credit for this tremendous achievement.

The senior leadership team and governors received more detailed feedback from the inspection team and some of this is detailed below.
