Our Y6 children performed an end of year production of "The Greatest Showman" today. They were all superstars and do talented, well done Year 6!
Y6 went to the St Helens Sports festival and participated in a variety of sports including rugby, football, boccia and dodgeball. They were great representatives for the school!
At our annual Willow Tree Awards Evening, we celebrated the achievements of our pupils. For each year group, a child won the Attainment, Progress and GAIN awards, celebrating academic success, improvement from their starting points and one of our school values respectively. We also celebrated our Sports superstar as well as the highly-coveted Spirit of Willow Tree award for which year 6 child has encapsulated the spirit of the school throughout their time at Willow Tree.
Sutton Academy host their own Pride of Sutton awards annually, and we got to nominate pupils for awards. They enjoyed a lovely awards evening celebrating their achievements - well done all!
Our Y5/6 rugby team reached the Grand Final at the Wargrave Trophy and achieved 2nd place! A hot, intense day of rugby playing against 7 other schools and we were placed in the final 2.

Some great teamwork, resilience, determination and every single player played their part and represented the school brilliantly.
