Seven girls from Willow Brook were given the opportunity to represent their school on Saturday morning, many of them for the first time. Although we were slow to warm up, the early team talks eventually started to sink in and the girls began to play with the fire and passion that I have come to [...]
Our gardening club have today been sampling the fruits of their labour thanks to Mrs Graham turning their golden raspberry and blackberry crops into incredible jam! They have already picked buckets full of runner beans and their sunflowers have turned to seed ready to gather for next year's sowing. The cabbages fed the Willow Brook [...]
Willow Brook's Cross Country Running Club has had a flying start! Every Wednesday and Friday lunchtime, children from all year groups race around the field for three whole laps! Mr Jones records their times and tracks their progress. Of course, it is just a bit of fun, but the Crossdale Fun Run is nearly upon [...]
Willow Brook's musicians showed off their talents on Wednesday night in style at our annual music event. From keyboards to choir, drums, guitars, recorders, ukuleles, clarinets and flutes, we raised the roof and enjoyed every minute. Well done, Willow Brook!

That's what made the afternoon so happy and why teachers and children were so full [...]

The Speaker of the House brought our 180 M.P.s to order and the afternoon was as lively as Westminster! Having been the focus of our topic work in class [...]

On the Monday before half term, our two Rushcliffe Pupil Parliament members, Sami and Tom, had the privilege of visiting London to experience the real Houses of Parliament. They got the chance to sit in both the House of Commons and the Lords, debate a political issue and get involved with the banter between the [...]
I must say that last week's Year 6 DARE graduation caught me quite off guard! As well as loving the humour and originality of their talk show style presentation, I felt quite emotional watching their sincere and energetic response to all they have learned over the past term. Their hour long assembly showed off so [...]
