Finishing off our sporting half term on Tuesday, five children represented Willow Brook at a handball festival at South Notts Academy.

On May 8th, Willow Brook joined with the nation in marking V.E. Day’s 80th anniversary. Our morning was spent exploring photographs, film clips and written sources that opened up the war years through the eyes of a child.

In recognition of International Women's Day, Willow Brook supported the England Football Association's day to promote women in sport. The girls got stuck in and loved the challenge... and if the boys felt a little left behind during [...]
