We follow a semi-formal curriculum where we will be covering a variety of subjects that are differentiated to suit individual learning needs. In our class we have a large focus on independence. We promote this by having daily jobs, taking part in Preparing for Adulthood Wednesdays as well as opening up to our local community through working at Tuck Shop on a Friday. We are also provided with many opportunities to develop communication skills, including through PODD, Makaton and individual ACT devices. Willow Class is full of funny, excited and confident personalities who demonstrate great passion in all that they do! newsletter Willow Autumn 2026 411 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/saxon-hill-academy/files/documents/newsletter_Willow_Autumn_2026_.pdf) Willow Newsletter Summer 1.53 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/saxon-hill-academy/files/documents/Willow_Newsletter_Summer.pdf) Willow Class Newsletter Spring 2026 1.43 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/saxon-hill-academy/files/documents/Willow_Newsletter_Spring.pdf) Willow Class Newsletter Autumn Term 2025 736 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/saxon-hill-academy/files/documents/Willow_Newsletter_Autumn.pdf) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2419.0719598613555!2d-1.822361823155188!3d52.67673832461318!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x4870a792ffadcd03%3A0x418e32c3c2ec43a9!2sSaxon%20Hill%20Academy!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sen!4v1725956460267!5m2!1sen!2sen) ![Saxon Hill Academy](https://files.schudio.com/saxon-hill-academy/images/logo/logo-bottom-saxon-hill.png) **Saxon Hill Academy** Kings Hill Road Lichfield WS14 9DE Tel: 01543 414892 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### Social Media - [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/saxonhillacademy) © Copyright 2024–2026 Saxon Hill Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://saxonhillacademy.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
