As a school, Willow Brook has signed up to Picture News. This is a national news weekly publication that we will use as an assembly (or lesson) that will support our My World/PSHE curriculum.

Tuesday was the start of Willow Brook's Anti-Bullying Week. We came together with Andy and his Odd Socks to remember how important it was to celebrate difference and promote respect.
