This year’s Prizegiving was a joyful celebration of music, memories and community. Highlights included performances from our Gwynne Solo Singing and Clemence Cup winners, a lively set from Year 6 band One Perfection, and a heartfelt speech from the Head Boy and Head Girl. We also welcomed back Old Red Crispin Reed, whose hilarious tales from his WGPS days had the audience laughing throughout, and Mrs Patel, who shared a moving tribute to the school and its staff. It was a fantastic evening. Thank you to everyone who helped make it so special. The message for Year 6 was loud and clear - you have made the most of a great foundation, and now you are ready to write the next chapter of your story. Continue to be kind, curious and creative, and always strive for excellence in whatever you do. Once a Red, Always a Red. #prizegiving  #woodfordgreen  #nurture  #curiosity  #creativity  #excellence  #woodford  #year6leavers @crispingjreed— WGPS (@wgprep) Jul 3, 2025

Our brilliant Bollywood Club wowed their audience not once but twice! After a term of hard work, they performed with incredible energy, style and confidence. Their complex choreography featured smooth transitions, sharp coordination and real flair. Their energy was so infectious the audience were ready to dance too! #BollywoodClub  #PupilPride  #WGPSPerformingArts  #CreativityInAction  #woodfordgreen— WGPS (@wgprep) Jul 1, 2025

Year 6, you are a class act! Parents and staff watched your final production, The Wrong Way Round, with great pride. The character and personality of this year group shone through. There were some standout performances. The evil Miss Sharman was brilliant, and the solos, duets, and Thriller dance moves had us all wanting to join in! You’ve been in the spotlight recently with an incredible few weeks of achievements, from your fantastic performance in the play to your energy and teamwork on Sports Day and at the Swimming Gala. What a way to finish your time at WGPS. We are all so proud of you! We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. Once a Red, Always a Red. ❤️— WGPS (@wgprep) Jul 1, 2025

A fantastic day at the Olympic pool for our 2025 Swimming Gala. Fifty-eight races gave pupils the chance to compete, challenge themselves, and support one another. Parental support from the stands added to the atmosphere and spurred swimmers on. Whether you left with a wristband, a medal, or the satisfaction of giving your best, you should be proud. Well done to our two Gala Champions. #SwimmingGala  #OlympicPool  #WGPS— WGPS (@wgprep) Jun 27, 2025

This year’s Summer Jazz Concert at Hawkey Hall was a spectacular success! The vibe, the atmosphere, the decorations, the cabaret-style feel, and most of all, the amazing sound quality and musicality delivered by our children, made it an event not to be missed. Many of us left the evening bursting with pride and still humming well-known jazz standards. What a performance! The Orchestra opened with Goldfinger from James Bond, followed by the String Orchestra, Cello Ensemble, Flute Group, Guitar Group, Brass Ensemble, Sax Group, String Quartet and One Perfection. The evening closed in style with the Choirs 3&4 wearing sunshades, the Jazz Band got toes tapping with Tuxedo Junction, and Choirs 5&6 sang in beautiful harmony with a barbershop-style Mr Blue Sky before donning top hats for New York, New York. Even Frank Sinatra would have been impressed! #SummerJazzConcert  #WGPSMusic #excellence#PupilTalent  #JazzNight  #ProudMoments— WGPS (@wgprep) Jun 27, 2025
