Values, Aims and Ethos
A child’s education begins from the moment they enter the world. As teachers we join parents as partners in a process which they have already begun. We believe that a good school is an extension of home, building upon the care and values that parents provide.

Our shared vision is that Willand School will be a safe, happy, inclusive environment with high expectations and standards in which all children can become:
- Successful learners- who enjoy learning, make progress and achieve.
- Confident individuals- who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.
- Responsible citizens -who make a positive contribution to society.
This vision is underpinned by our total commitment to our core values which are of great importance to us:
- Equality
- Respect
- Trust
- Honesty
- Resilience
- Tolerance
- Effort
