9.00 am to 3.00 pm hrs

Capacity is 100

There are 14 pupils permitted per class to enable increased 1-1 provision as compared to British/Spanish mainstream education.

60% English and within the 40% international students we have nationalities including pupils from Scotland, Sweden, ice-land, Venezuela and others.

The English National Curriculum.

All academic staff teaching the English National Curriculum are qualified British teachers and in the case of French and Spanish, qualified native speaking teachers.

There are a limited number of places for non-English speaking Primary pupils between the ages of 6 and 9 of proven academic ability. From the age of 10 onwards new pupils must have a high level of English to enter the school. A good knowledge of the English Language is preferential.

Overall, most of our students speak English/Spanish in the playground. Because of this, we find that new children joining the school with little, or no knowledge of the Spanish language, pick it up very quickly.

All students at WIS study Spanish. This language provision runs throughout the school from key stage 1 to 4.

From year 7 students are taught French with the option in year 9 to continue with the iGCSE course.

As an international multicultural school, we introduce our students to different religions and cultures and teach them moral values as part of our SMSC provision, based on the western Christian tradition, but which tend to be common to all religions. At Christmas we celebrate Christian activities such as Christmas plays and Carol singing. Parents are given an option to remove their child from any lessons which encompass religious study.

The WIA is able to offer a wide range of sporting activities including football (7 and 5-a-side pitches), basketball, tennis, volleyball, hockey, gymnastics, badminton, athletics, and swimming.

In the Key Stage One children will be expected to read regularly at home (English and Spanish), they will have weekly spelling words to learn and will be set some basic maths homework, much of the homework will be set depending on the current cohort requirements.

In Key Stage Two as in Key Stage One, children are expected to read regularly (English and Spanish), they will have weekly spelling words to learn and will be set maths and Spanish homework, the homework linked to the British Curriculum will be set using both paper-based & online resources. On occasion children will also be set project homework linked to the topics being studied.

In the Secondary Department pupils are set purposeful, relevant homework tasks on a regular basis. In years 7-9 pupils should expect to be doing no more than ½ hour – 1 hour of homework a night. In Years 10 and 11 the amount of homework would increase to 1 – 1 ½ hours.

Students at Willow International Academy are used to welcoming newcomers and are always very friendly and helpful. Year Group tutors make sure that “buddies” are always on hand to show newcomers the ropes at first. We always encourage new pupils to make new friends and join in with the rest of the school.

The first step in the admissions process is to send in an online enquiry form with full details of the pupil in question. The procedures for admission vary slightly according to the age of the candidate. We require the application form and copies of most recent school reports.
