Pupils return to the classroom as The Willows reopens
A Rotherham school has today reopened after its gates were suddenly shut following a medical shock.
Mrs Rachael Booth, headteacher of the Willows School in Thurcroft, suffered a heart attack while she was at the school on Wedneday (October 14).


Staff and pupils at the special education place of learning on Locksley Drive were left shocked as emergency services rushed to the scene - and the school closed for the rest of the week.
Mrs Booth’s condition is not known but many people have passed on good wishes via the Advertiser’s Facebook page.
