From the Willoughby Academy
For students with mild, severe, profound, and complicated learning difficulties, Willoughby is an all-age Special Academy. The community of Bourne, South Lincolnshire, where the institution is housed is tremendously supportive. After five years at Willoughby, I continue to be in awe of the excellent instruction, student-centered philosophy, and real warmth of the school's welcome. Working at a distinctive academy has a lot to offer. Every day, the Willoughby instructors and staff have a positive impact on the lives of the kids. We offer a comprehensive curriculum that attempts to meet the particular requirements of each Willoughby student. Our excellent facilities, which include a sensory room, a sensory integration suite, a hot tub, a 4D suite, and an on-site forest school, assist teaching and learning at the school. If you have any questions or would want to visit, get in touch with the academy. You can stay up to date with the most recent Willoughby news by following us on Twitter.
