Information about Willow Base:

In Willow Base, we embark on a learning journey through pre-history and the natural world, transitioning from the Stone Age to the innovative Bronze Age. Our science curriculum comes to life as we investigate the world of rocks and fossils, highlighted by an exciting hands-on trip to the Etches Museum in Kimmeridge where the children will step into the shoes of real-life palaeontologists. 

In Willow Base, children enjoy reading a variety of high-quality texts to develop their writing skills and imagination. We strive to foster an environment that builds confidence, independence and high aspirations.
