The Salvation Army carols… How else could Christmas begin?
It is always so wonderful to welcome the Salvation Army band to finish the term, and a joy to welcome a playground full of our Willow Brook family (past and present!) to celebrate through carols and festive songs.

Year 3 are full of talent and they proved it yet again by showing off their musical skills in an end of term concert. Mrs Price has been teaching the whole class (and Miss Brearey!) the violin and they treated their parents and the rest of the school to a rather special assembly full of [...]

Bonkers for Conkers!
The conker tree on the field is quite an amazing old Willow Brook addition! Our new children are quickly learning that in return for a bit of kindness, he'll shower down conkers... if, however, you tug his leaves and throw things high into his branches he's easily offended! As you can see he was more [...]

Potted Sports
Thank you so much to all those who came and helped at last week's Potted Sports event! We had a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed meeting new parents as well as seeing the children work together and show such a cracking sense of community and care as they competed and encouraged each other.
