It's later than you think ... just 21 days to the end of Spring Term!

What did you do at school today?
Best school ... 'What did you do at school today?' It's a question parents often ask. What an unusual reply Mums and Dads heard recently. 'We're designing our new multi-million pound school.' And it is true. Willowfield School students were called in by council architects to design the way they would most like their school to be. There's a newspaper story here. More photos here and here, and here.

Our Year 8 star and Mr Hemingway are almost neck and neck. Close by are Damian and Zain ...

Students and staff in an amazing struggle

By Sports Reporter | Yesterday 2149

But in fantasy footie at Willowfield School, the men had better beware because student, unswervable Shovon Malik, just won't let our Deputy-Headteacher get far ahead.

But surprise, surprise, Shovon's has closed the gap again and is only two points behind Mr Hemingway now!

It's been a stunning battle between Mr Hemingway and Shovon, and while I would have said that our Deputy Headteacher is bound to win, now I am very far from sure.

It wouldn't be quite so surprising perhaps if Shovon was one of your senior students. But Shovon is in Year 8!

He's been at high school for only just over a year, or to put it another way round, only a little over a year ago, he was a primary school pupil! Read all about it on the student news pages. »»

Model student ... This good design won our student a photo in the neighbourhood paper.

Headteacher Ms Wilson said, 'We spent two exhausting days on the modelling.

'The ideas were really very good. I have to say I felt very proud of our imaginative students.'
