It was a joy to welcome you all to our Harry Potter Exhibition on Wednesday. Your children's work was utterly brilliant and seeing it all together in the hall made us realise just how much has been achieved over the past 6 weeks. One of the tasks that you may not have appreciated was [...]
Despite a few sporting events being called off due to the hot weather, we have still been able to enjoy some events when the weather is kinder. On Thursday 2nd July, children from Years 5 and 6 attended a Scatterball Festival, where they had the opportunity to try a different sport and thoroughly enjoyed taking part. On Friday 3rd [...]
Yesterday, our KS1 children launched Willow Brook's Sport Week with a series of Football Rounders. It was a day full of fun! Today was our first whole-school event. Each teacher brought their favourite game to the field and our tournament made for an exciting morning. Today was a superb warm up for our main [...]
No Harry Potter half term would be complete without a meeting with the Sorting Hat! At the Hogwarts start-of-term feast every September, the hat is placed on a three-legged stool in the Great Hall. Before the sorting begins, it sings a new, often rambling song which details its history. Students then take turns placing [...]

It was an absolute privilege to have a member of the Halle Orchestra visit Willow Brook this week. Andy is a member of the brass section and brought his French horn to teach Years 3 and 6 just what it's like to work as a musician. Year 3 couldn't help but fly like an [...]
Another fantastic week of sport with many things to be proud of. On Monday, our Year 5/6 girls played Kinoulton at home and secured a brilliant 2–1 win. On the same day, our Year 3/4 children went down the road with Miss Adams and Mrs Bugden to take part in a football festival at [...]
A fantastic week of football that couldn’t have gone much better! The boys were in action twice on home soil, with two matches in as many days. A superb draw against Carnarvon, followed by a brilliant win over East Bridgford, made it a great return at home. The girls rounded off the week in [...]
