We talk so much these days about the well-being of our children but there's no doubt that any experience involving happy exercise or music has an incredibly positive impact on that all important feel-good factor. Young Voices is the biggest children's choir concert in the world and on Friday night, Willow Brook's choir was [...]
A huge congratulations to the fabulous cast of our 2019 production of What a Knight - you certainly did an amazing job that lived up to the standards of a Willow Brook drama! Here are a few pictures taken by Andrew Hallsworth during the evening shows. I'm sure you'll agree that the photos show the [...]
This afternoon, I had to privilege of taking these cross country stars to Rushcliffe country park. It is safe to say they all ran their hearts out and made Willow Brook proud. With some added energy from the jelly babies, they all managed a sprint finish! Miss Phillips [...]
Seven girls from Willow Brook were given the opportunity to represent their school on Saturday morning, many of them for the first time. Although we were slow to warm up, the early team talks eventually started to sink in and the girls began to play with the fire and passion that I have come to [...]
Willow Brook's musicians showed off their talents on Wednesday night in style at our annual music event. From keyboards to choir, drums, guitars, recorders, ukuleles, clarinets and flutes, we raised the roof and enjoyed every minute. Well done, Willow Brook!

That's what made the afternoon so happy and why teachers and children were so full [...]
After thoroughly enjoying a Parliamentary half term, we tested our debating skills on Friday as three bills were discussed in our very own House of Commons! The Speaker of the House brought our 180 M.P.s to order and the afternoon was as lively as Westminster! Having been the focus of our topic work in class [...]
On the Monday before half term, our two Rushcliffe Pupil Parliament members, Sami and Tom, had the privilege of visiting London to experience the real Houses of Parliament. They got the chance to sit in both the House of Commons and the Lords, debate a political issue and get involved with the banter between the [...]
I must say that last week's Year 6 DARE graduation caught me quite off guard! As well as loving the humour and originality of their talk show style presentation, I felt quite emotional watching their sincere and energetic response to all they have learned over the past term. Their hour long assembly showed off so [...]
