Gilded Hollins has, for the second year running, been awarded a prestigious Sainsbury’s School Games Gold Award, putting us in the top ten per cent across the country for our sports provision. Only a handful of schools in the entire borough are rated at gold standard, which gives an indication of our achievement. Huge congratulations to Miss Whittaker, our P.E. Subject Leader. The gold award is well-deserved recognition of her tireless efforts throughout the year promoting sport in school: she regularly gives up her own time to organise and attend events with pupils. The good news was given to Miss Whittaker today after she met with regional moderators.
The President of the Rotary Club of Leigh, Mr D Jones, visited school on Wednesday 30th June to present us with a £500 donation towards our new Reach for the Stars Garden. Mr Jones handed over the bumper cheque to our grateful School Councillors during a special assembly. The windfall will be used to fund an orchard area and Wishing Tree.
Many thanks to the Rotary Club for their generosity.
