  • Quiz Nights 
  • Summer Fair 
  • Christmas Fair
  • Provided refreshments at several functions including: the Drama Productions, Winter and Summer Arts Festivals, Parents' Evenings.

For secondary school students it is often hard to meet other parents/carers and we aim to offer information and advice about how to support your child’s education and wellbeing during their time at WGSB.If you are interested in getting involved, please contact the PTA on pta@wgsb.co.uk or by calling 01322 223090.
