Paul Keane discusses what the school offers and how this curriculum has been developed
I started at Willowtown Primary as a deputy headteacher in 2015 and circumstances quickly led to me becoming headteacher. Based in Ebbw Vale in South Wales, our school has more than 450 pupils and 20 teaching staff.
In London I had worked in quite affluent schools where budgets were challenging but not to the extent we see in places in Wales. One of the areas I saw the most potential for improvement at our school was the delivery of the STEM curriculum, but this would also be the most difficult to grow because of the price tag that comes along with resources, technology and equipment.
