The year 5 students who took us on a tour were fantastic. They told us so much about their day to day life at school, and they answered all of our questions amazingly.

Everything and everyone was amazing!!!

Parent/Carer feedback from the information morning  

 Whole school tours (one approx every 6 weeks) - Next one is Wednesday 8 January 2025, 10am and aimed for  those in reception to year 6. Please contact parents@thewillow.haringey.sch.uk if you are interested in this tour of the Willow school.  (usually the whole school tour is only for in-year admissions 1-6 but this tour is especially for parents/carers starting school in reception Sept 2025).

Regarding feedback on the tour I only have positive things to say! I thought it gave a real and open insight into your school which seemed to me an inspiring and exciting place. I wasn’t expecting it to be so comprehensive if I’m honest, because you gave us a lot more time than other schools had; but I found that very useful. 

 It was lovely to be able to show XXX the school and to give her an idea of what 'big school' is.
