Meet Your 2024 Festival Ambassadors
East Preston Junior School held a special assembly on 21st May to announce this year's Festival Ambassadors. Every year, the children in year six are invited to put themselves forward as candidates by giving a short presentation to their fellow pupils who then vote for the ones they think would best represent the school at the Festival.
All four received trophies sponsored by Lady Annabel Goldsmith. They travelled through the streets of East Preston in open topped cars as guests of honour in the Festival Parade on Saturday 8th June.
Olivia Pye, teacher and head of year 6, commented: "it was wonderful to have the children involved in the process for this year's East Preston Festival ballot. The year group were engaged and thoughtful about their applications and we had over 20 children apply and deliver their speeches confidently in front of their peers - no mean feat. The year group were excellent in their response to those who delivered their speeches and there was a genuine sense of encouragement and support for everyone to do well. We felt very proud of them".
