A message from our Headteacher
I feel incredibly fortunate that, after years of certain but slow improvement, I have been appointed to the headship at a time when the school is making dramatic progress on all fronts. I have served the school long enough to know where this progress is coming from. Firstly, in recent years we have enjoyed immense support from the local and the wider community; in particular, we have cultivated a spirit of genuine partnership with the parents of our pupils. Secondly, our pupils have in abundance the generosity of spirit, the good humour and the down-to-earth approach to life for which this area is renowned. Thirdly, the Willowgarth staff have developed into a formidable team, the leadership of which is an immense privilege and pleasure. With parents, pupils and staff working selflessly and in partnership to a common purpose, the school is now truly a community in its own right. We provide a safe and secure environment where children can develop and flourish and take pride in their achievements.

Working in partnership with North East Barnsley Learning Alliance we are able to offer Vocational Options, to Year 9 students. Each student may choose to apply for one of the courses. There will be a limited number of places available for each course. Course hours are not the same as our normal school day as College usually finishes at 4pm. A Barnsley College based course will mean attendance during the normal GCSE exam period (May and June) of year eleven to complete modules.

Successful applicants will be informed.

I earnestly hope that you and your child will wish to join us for what is likely to be the most exciting time in the school's history.

Mr. A. W. Loveday
