Sixth Form Celebrations
As the Sixth Form is closing this year, we are hoping to organise a celebration of the success of the previous students and what they have gone on to achieve.
We have set up a new Facebook page for our Sixth Form Leavers so that they can get in touch and let us know what they are up to.
The link to this page can be found on our current Wardle High Facebook page which can be accessed by the icon above.
Presentation Evening
On Thursday 31st May we will be hosting our Presentation Evening in School. Pupils from Years 7 - 10 will receive awards for progress and effort in all subject areas.
Pupils who have won awards are invited to attend and will be allocated 2 tickets per family. Unfortunately due to the popularity of the event we cannot issue any more tickets to families as there is only a specific number the hall can accommodate.
Prefects
The new 2012/13 Prefects have been chosen and are currently in training. They will receive their official badges on the 31st May at presentation evening. Further off site training will take place in June where Prefects will receive training on anti-bullying, mentoring, safeguarding and being a positive role model.
RIBI Young Chef Award Presentation
Helen Mather, Iona Hendry, Niamh Hendry, Eleanor Drysdale and Hannah Timperley have been awarded certificates by the Rotary Club due to their involvement in the Young Chef Competition in February.
Hannah Timperley made it through to the district stage and was awarded with a chef jacket for her achievement.
Well done girls!
Lakeside Trip
Our Year 7 and Year 8 musicians have enjoyed a fun weekend away at Lakeside Activity Centre situated on Lake Windermere.
The weekend aimed to improve the teamwork of the group through various outdoor pursuits including orienteering and obstacle courses.
"Pass and move is the Wardle groove"
The Year 8 Football team topped off what has been a fantastic year by winning the Tom Nichol trophy six-a-side tournament at Falinge Park High School.
With over 8 other schools competing within the tournament it was by no means an easy challenge.
However the Wardle team, lead by an inspirational captain Levi Simi, fought hard throughout the qualifying stages to secure their place in the cup final against Hollingworth High School.
Well done boys!
Brass The Baton
On the 30th June 2.00pm-10.30 Wardle High School will be taking part in Brass The Baton, a spectacular event featuring hundreds of young brass band musicians performing a newly commissioned piece of music called 'Going The Distance' for the Black Baton Relay.

Tesco Vouchers
It's that time of year again when we are collecting Tesco's Vouchers for Schools and Clubs.
These vouchers will enable us to get free equipment for school.
Any vouchers can be handed in at Pupil Reception.
Illness in School
If your child becomes ill in school, they must in the first instance report this to their form tutor, who will then make the decision about whether they can go home. If their form tutor is unavailable they must see their Head of House/ Year or Mrs Hardman the Attendance Officer.
Form Tutors, Head of House/Year will then contact Pupil Reception to inform them that your child is ill and needs to go home. Pupils should not bypass this system by phoning or texting parents directly. These procedures have been put in place to ensure the safeguarding of all pupils.
Wardle High School in Concert
Our Wardle High School in Concert CD is now available to purchase!
The CD features the Youth Band, Big Band, Folk Group, Junior Band, Training Band, Matt Pack, Wind Band and the Choir.
The CD costs £10 and is available from the main reception.
