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 [...]
It was hot... It was full of competition... it was full of happy, energetic Willow Brookers! Enjoy some pictures from the 2022 Sports Afternoon! [...]
Our Year 2 class spent the day at Colwick Adventure Base this week for a day packed full of adventure. I've never had a class so excited to go for a ride on a coach and there wasn't a quiet moment as they pointed out places they knew along the way. Once we arrived, [...]

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 [...]
Red Nose Day was a day full of fun at Willow Brook! With over 24 acts reaching the afternoon final of The Willow Brook Comedy Show, the day lived up to its 'Funny is Power' theme! Imogen in Year 4 was our ultimate comedy champion with an 'improv' routine to rival Michael McIntyre and [...]
Class 2 have explored what schools of the future might be like using AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality). We used AR to find out about the lifecycle of a butterfly, and VR to inspire our vocabulary work. Everyone really enjoyed using these technologies, and imagining how they might develop in schools of [...]
