We have had a super day in Happy Valley celebrating Children in Need. Your children (as always) looked fabulous in their outfits! Whilst we know it takes time to plan, make and wear (or find on Amazon!) there's a real buzz about the day and we see how excited they are to take [...]
We are looking forward to Friday and working together to have a day full of fun. We can’t wait to see the characters who might arrive in Happy Valley, and hope that stories, games, prizes and an afternoon with one of the greatest fairy stories of all time, will enable us to raise lots [...]
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 [...]
Over the last 6 Thursday's, the Willow Brook running club have been very busy practicing and improving their running skills. Our attendances have been fantastic and consistent throughout. It has been a real pleasure to watch (and occasionally join in) the children running around the school grounds, continuing to grow and achieve their personal [...]

The photographs speak for themselves. I hope that you see smiles, determination, outstanding behaviour and, above all, lots of experienced Willow Brookers [...]

In an attempt to encourage the artists of the future, children (and their grown ups!) have been working over the past three weeks on an installation for our very own Fourth Plinth. The result was a school full of [...]
Welcome to the Summer Term and to our final whole-school topic of the academic year. What could be more fitting (or motivating) than a national celebration... A jubilee! 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 [...]
