Pupil Journals
Whilst attending The Willows staff and pupils create Journals, a forever keepsake documenting both academic and social experiences and achievements from their journey. Each Journal is unique, just like our pupils, showing how every journey is different, individual and personal. At the end of each pupil’s placement their Journal is presented to them to take home as a memory of their time attending school with us.
