Leigh Centurions 💯
Following our successful competition entry, the children were able to visit a Leigh Centurions game and go onto the pitch before the game and at half time. Thank you to Leigh Centurions, Leigh Community Trust and Leigh’s players for giving our rugby team a memorable experience! We were invited back a second time! This time, our Year 5 and Year 6 children were given the amazing opportunity to walk out onto the pitch with their heroes!
Leigh Centurions 💯
The children were paid a visit by Leigh Centurions stars Ryan Brierley and James Bell for a question and answer session after we successfully designed the Centurions' warm-up top for the current Super League season.

Every year Gilded Hollins hosts a coffee morning to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support. Year 6 organise and host this event taking orders for hot drinks, collecting money and selling raffle tickets- all for charity. This year was a great community event raising lots of money for a charity dear to Gilded Hollins.
Go Gilded Hats 💚💛
Wow! We managed to order over 100 'Go Gilded' hats for both children and staff. The money raised goes directly to the Oddballs Foundation, a charity that raises awareness for testicular cancer. Not only do we now look great but we've raised money for a good cause!

Coffee Morning 🍰
‘Brave The Shave’ 💇
In 2019, our dear friend and much-loved colleague Janet Collier passed away having been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. She was only 53. To raise money and awareness for a worthy cause, Macmillan, that supported Mrs Collier through her illness, Mr Taylor decided to shave off his curly hair. All money raised from the 'Mr Taylor's Brave The Shave' would go to Macmillan and Cancer Research. Initially, we hoped to raise around £1,000 in Janet's memory but in true Gilded Hollins fashion, children, parents, staff and friends of the school really got behind the cause. Our target was surpassed within 6 hours and the donations continued to roll in...
On Friday 27th September, at 3.30, the school hall was packed with children, parents, grandparents, staff, governors, ex-pupils and even children who hadn't attended Gilded Hollins for 'Mr Taylor's Brave The Shave'! Mrs Renshaw expertly shaved Mr Taylor's hair with the final total raised being £3,518.88 (£4,332.35 including Gift Aid). This occasion was definitive proof of what an amazing, caring and generous family that anybody associated with Gilded Hollins is a part of!
