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 [...]

The girls played their first cup match of the year against Tollerton, who had already had a very successful start to the season. Our Willow Brook team took a while to get settled into playing away, with the wind in our faces and went two goals down before half time. After a little chat and [...]
