Executive Headteacher

Sarah Thornton

At CCS Willow Park and Willow Dean we understand the value of developing the whole person. We are proud of our young people. And we are equally proud of the work that we do to help them thrive and succeed into adulthood – to become the future citizens they aspire to be. Although our students come to us for a number of different reasons, we want them to leave us as confident young people, who are well prepared to pursue their dreams.
