News from Class 6
At Willow Brook we believe it is important to enrich academic learning with activities, lessons and clubs that build confidence and provide opportunities to develop new skills. Subject leaders also ensure that their areas are enhanced with opportunities to further classroom content. The timetable attached provides details of what is happening during the Spring [...]
Happy New Year! Welcome back. I hope that the festive break was as good as it could be. It seems that Santa has been very generous indeed. When I was a young lad (in a time where Amazon meant a rainforest and the Argos catalogue was a thing of wonder), I remember that Christmas [...]
Yet again, the children of Willow Brook delivered a Christmas show to be proud of! We certainly have a school full of confidence, creativity, community spirit and talent! I know you will have experienced the live experience, now sit back and enjoy some pictures that capture four fabulous performances. With thanks to Andrew Hallsworth [...]
We have had a super day in Happy Valley celebrating Children in Need. Your children (as always) looked fabulous in their outfits! Whilst we know it takes time to plan, make and wear (or find on Amazon!) there's a real buzz about the day and we see how excited they are to take [...]
We are looking forward to Friday and working together to have a day full of fun. We can’t wait to see the characters who might arrive in Happy Valley, and hope that stories, games, prizes and an afternoon with one of the greatest fairy stories of all time, will enable us to raise lots [...]

Years 5 and 6 even joined [...]
On Tuesday, 8 children from Year 6 attended a Dodgeball Festival at East Leake Academy. Not only did they show off their fantastic Dodgeball skills, but they also demonstrated lots of teamwork, sportsmanship and honesty. The children had a great time and received certificates for their efforts. Well done all!

It has been a real pleasure to watch (and occasionally join in) the children running around the school grounds, continuing to grow and achieve their personal [...]
It’s certainly been an action packed 6 weeks of football at Willow Brook. Two Saturday tournaments started our season off - 1 for the boys, 1 for girls and both proved challenging for the teams, but we took positives from them. On Tuesday 20th September the girls had an amazing time at a rearranged [...]
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 [...]
