Welcome to the Whomping Willows!


No longer called "the Quiet Zone" or "the bit with trees at the front of the school" 
Some pupils from P7E carry out a very informal opening ceremony!

We held our very own election in the last week of term before the Easter holidays when a new name was chosen for the area of the Playground at the front of the school previously known as the "Quiet Area".

Since the big playground development project carried out by the Parent Council there have been several new attractions added to this area  including the outdoor stage with dressing up clothes, tubular chimes, tom tom drums as well as the trees to climb.

This prompted the Games Parliament to question whether the "Quiet Area" really was the best name with all this new activities so they decided to organise an election to find a new name. Everyone was asked to put forward their suggestions and the Games Partliament Class Representatives chose the final six to go forward for the vote.
The election came up with a clear winner with the "Whomping Willows" beating "Dreamland" and the "Chillout Zone" into second and third place respectively. The Games Parliament Chairman doubled as Returning Officer to announce the result to the whole school at the first Business Meeting of the new term.
