Wardle Academy is proudly supporting Little "Pink" Borough again this year. The fundraising event runs throughout all of October and includes many local community events.
Our learners are taking part in the window display competition, selling wristbands, Pink hair bobbles and cancer research charms at reception which fellow students can donate towards.
Our staff are having a bake sale and "wear it pink" day on the 23rd October.
