In a half term full of Olympic learning, what could be better than being taught by an Olympic athlete?! The Gymnast, Sam Oldham, who was part of Team GB in the 2012 Games in London, came to Willow Brook and wowed us all in a day full of handstands, back flips, strength and motivation. [...]
Year 6 did a brilliant job of organising a school fair for the other children at Willow Brook! Friday's FunFest was a perfect community event! There were stalls and games, prizes to be won and wet sponges to throw! Year 6 were expert face painters and tattooists and, as you can see from the [...]
A rather special day at Keyworth Cricket Club today saw us retain the Cotton Tuckwell trophy for a 3rd year in a row!

It was an absolute treat to welcome the author LD Lapinski to Willow Brook on Friday! We have had such a great half term in the company of Flick and Jonathan from the 'Strangeworlds Travel Agency' trilogy, that it was a treat to meet their creator. We started the day with the whole school [...]
Dukes Barn The 5Cs of Willow Brook children are immediately apparent to both ourselves as staff and to adults outside of our school when undertaking residentials. This trip was of no exception and I'd like to take the chance to give you an overview of our trip along with some photos to enjoy viewing [...]
Comic Relief Day at Willow Brook is always guaranteed to lift the spirits! From 200 children dressed in red (thank goodness for Forest tops!) and looking brilliant in the Charity's caps, t-shirts and noses, to a live open mic comedy afternoon, there was bound to be a positive vibe! Thanks to your donations, our [...]
There's nothing more exciting than the moment 200 book characters arrive on the school playground on World Book Day... From Matildas and enormous crocodiles to dragons, lions, witches and wardrobes, you never quite know who (or what!) is about to arrive!
