Information about the federation

About The Willesborough Schools Federation

Willesborough Infant and Willesborough Junior Schools are two large, thriving schools that federated in January 2019 to form The Willesborough Schools Federation. Prior to this, the schools worked closely together for many years as linked schools, building strong foundations for collaboration. We are proud of our unique identity as a federated infant and junior school and of the progressive curriculum and high-quality provision we have developed for our pupils and community. Our shared vision ensures a seamless educational journey from Early Years through to Year 6, underpinned by our commitment to excellence and inclusion.

The federation offers outstanding opportunities for staff to work across both schools and to be part of a large, supportive team. As a forward-thinking organisation, we provide training, coaching, and mentoring for teachers, classroom practitioners, and support staff who are new to the profession, as well as a strong commitment to developing leaders and managers at all levels.

Both schools have been inspected recently and achieved excellent outcomes, reflecting our dedication to continuous improvement and high standards.
