My daughter is now in Year 1 and she absolutely loves school! I am so happy with her progress, and I’m really impressed with the range of activities on offer. The caring, family feel of the school is one of its greatest assets.
Miss L DickinsonMany people thought that going to a secondary school would be difficult for me as I am from a smaller primary school. However, the safe community feel and friendliness that Willoughby Primary School offers, has given me the confidence to make new friends and let my talent shine!
