Welcome to Willow Brook Primary School, a proud member of the Griffin Schools Trust (GST). We are a vibrant, ambitious community in the heart of East London, dedicated to inspiring lifelong learning and setting every child up for future success.

At Willow Brook, our pursuit of excellence rests on three core pillars: Proud Traditions, Wide Horizons, and High Achievement. Guided by our motto Ad Altiora – ‘towards higher things’ – we deliver a rich curriculum and an extensive enrichment programme that nurtures the whole child. We empower our pupils to grow into confident, well-rounded individuals who are caring, creative, collaborative, and critical thinkers.

As a GST School, our ultimate mission is to help children discover their unique talents and build the confidence to make a meaningful difference in the world. We actively teach our pupils to recognise and challenge social injustice, ensuring they leave us prepared to navigate and shape society for the better.

Inclusion is at the very core of our identity. Established in 1876, our school proudly serves a wonderfully diverse community. Our East London location allows us to tap into the energy and opportunities of this incredible city, bringing learning to life in ways that are purposeful, engaging and rich.

The best way to experience Willow Brook is to see it for yourself. Our dedicated staff, creative pupils, and welcoming community look forward to greeting you.
