ABOUT US

The natural environment at The Willows is a perfect setting to promote holistic development, as the programme provides opportunities for learners to develop all aspects as an individual; for them to develop as a whole person.  The skills children acquire at The Willows support them in preparation for life. 

​

Rebecca Dodman manages the programmes on offer at The Willows. 

Her ambition is to promote the love of learning through personalised/outdoor experiences; leading by example and inspiring children to fulfil their aspirations.  Rebecca has empathy and energy to drive improvement and implement initiatives; for individuals to succeed, feel valued and to make a difference.  She is passionate in providing high quality education for all.

​

As a former leader in education, primary school teacher and qualified Level 3 Forest School Leader Rebecca has the experience and skills to plan a wide range of different activities, including child-led, open ended tasks; which as Dr Maria Montessori suggests will allow learners to use their own abilities to develop all aspects at their own pace.
