John Davies, Sky Sports Presenter, visits Willowbrook!
Wed 05 Apr 2017We were delighted to welcome John Davies, one of Sky Sports' news presenters to the school today. We learnt more about his background and career journey into journalism and he gave some key pieces of advice for our pupils:
1. Be true to yourselves;
2. Stay humble in all achievements;
3. Don't give up!
He shared his story in assembly and then spent some quality time with Year 6 answering a range of questions which were insightful and wide-ranging.
Thanks John for giving the time to visit today and to help raise the future aspirations for the pupils at Willowbrook!
