There was something ODD at Willow Brook today... thankfully, it was just the socks! As we launch into a week where our thoughts turn to combatting bullying, this year's theme of Reach Out gave us lots of things to consider and rehearse during our assembly and our lessons. Years 5 and 6 even joined [...]
It's always a pleasure to start a Friday in good company and surrounded by cake. This morning's MacMillan Coffee Breakfast was an absolute joy! The community's cake baking efforts were incredible and I am pleased and proud to be sending nearly £600 to a very worthy charity. We awarded three medals just for fun [...]
Yesterday's Potted Sports afternoon was a great chance to get out in the autumn air, get involved in gentle competition and let all that is wonderful about the Willow Brook community shine! The photographs speak for themselves. I hope that you see smiles, determination, outstanding behaviour and, above all, lots of experienced Willow Brookers [...]

The result was a school full of [...]
It is always a pleasure to accompany the Willow Brook choir to a gig, but our annual visit to the Young Voices Concert at the NEC Arena in Birmingham continues to be the year's highlight! We performed as part of a strong choir to an audience of thousands and the day certainly lived [...]

Over the next six weeks we will be building our knowledge of the Queen and her 70 year reign, learning all about our capital city and [...]
Every child at Willow Brook was given the same homework task on World Book Day... to create their very own Reading River. In a simple picture map, everyone sailed from their earliest memory of books to charting the last book that they read. The results were staggering and the buzz of conversation as rivers [...]
