WORTHING FESTIVAL
DANCING ROUND-UP

WHAT A WEEK… THE SCHOOL ACHIEVED THE MOST AMAZING RESULTS EVER!
CONGRATULATIONS to all who took part in the dancing festival, I was very proud of you all and was delighted to see how well everyone danced.

Aggregate Awards
Aggregate awards are given for the classical and stage sections for each age group and Glendale pupils won every single aggregate that they entered – 17! There are only 18 in grand total and the 18th we didn’t have anyone contending it in all the requisite classes! We have to confess that out of the 17 we won, 2 of them were shared with pupils from other schools.
