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!

Nursery end Mural takes shape!
Wed 15 Mar 2017To brighten up the outside Nursery wall, we have commissioned an artist to work with our pupils to design and create this wonderful mural ! Its aim is to capture the school community in its surroundings, taking in the natural and structural features that make up the landscape in and around Willowbrook. The pupils used spray paint to capture these vibrant colours - what a welcome to give our Nursery children on entry to school every day!

Year 3 & 4 Welsh Poem Recital Competition
Mon 13 Mar 2017Some of our Year 3 & 4 pupils 'stood and delivered' so well in an inter-schools Welsh speaking event, held at Lisvane Primary. They had to remember and recite a Welsh poem which was all about playing sport! It was no small thing for the group to stand in front of a hall full of pupils and adults and recite and act out the poem. They were praised for their accurate Welsh pronunciation! Thanks to Miss Johnson for preparing them so well - they were a credit to Willowbrook.
