This could be anything from Singers, Bands, Dancers, to Magic shows, mayhem and face painters. So if you know of anyone that would like to get involved and have a slot on our schedule then please contact us at PTA@Wardenhill.gloucs.sch.uk.
To make all of this happen requires a lot of support from both our excellent teaching staff, PTA volunteers, but also you are extremely supportive parents. So to ensure that this year’s Summer Festival goes off without a hitch and we can make it as exciting as possible, we need your support. This could just be an hour of your time to man a stall so that everyone gets to enjoy the festival, help with set up or take down, or make sure that one of our many activities is safe for all to enjoy.
