Gerry Robinson, the executive headteacher of HLP, said:

“It was a moment which brought people together, making for a hugely positive start to the first formal day of our academic year.”

The Willow Primary School  held a summer camp for four weeks in July/August. A range of activities including visits from farm animals, cooking, play, art, dance and many more were enjoyed by children each day. A huge thank you to the staff who gave up their holiday time to make this happen.
