Mr Slater explains, ‘Last March, following the West Wiltshire Dance Festival back in February 2023, a group of teachers, dance leaders and the WWDF organisers met to review the Dance Festival and to assess the nominations for the Chris Bell Award. Chris Bell was the first West Wiltshire School Games Organiser and this is an annual award given in recognition of an individual’s commitment and focus towards performing at the West Wiltshire Dance Festival whilst overcoming significant hurdles.
We were very proud that Skye, from the WLPS dance club was nominated and even more delighted that the group decided that Skye would be the worthy recipient of the award.
This week, the current West Wiltshire School Games Organiser – Mr Widger, visited WLPS to present Skye with her award and to interview her. This interview will be shown on all three evenings of this year’s Dance Festival. Westbury Leigh CofE Primary School will be performing their dance on Wednesday 7th February and Skye and her parents are invited to attend as VIP guests!
We are very proud of Skye’s efforts and congratulations to her for being another of Westbury Leigh’s recipient of the Chris Bell Award!’
