Fundraising

With ever more pressure on school budgets, we encourage families to consider making a contribution if they feel able to do so. In a time of diminishing school funding, your contributions really do enable us to enhance our school opportunities and environment. The additional funds are an extremely valuable - indeed, increasingly vital - source of income.  

Our standard suggested donation is £30, however, a number of parents and carers have previously indicated that they would prefer to set up a monthly standing order to make a regular contribution to the school fund, rather than a one-off payment. Regular donations make a lasting impact on our school and our students, whether it is £5, £20, or even £100 a month. 

Contributions are used in a vast variety of ways to support our rich and wide-ranging programme of extracurricular activities and educational visits and to enhance our school environment and experience. We strive to ensure that all students will benefit from the school fund during the course of the year and over the years the fund has been used in a huge range of ways, including the maintenance and running costs of our school minibuses, the funding of house events and celebrations in every year group and the provision of equipment and activities for our student support rooms and outdoor areas. 

You can make a contribution in a number of ways and these are explained in the accompanying document. 

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support of our wonderful school - we are very grateful.

With most banks and building societies, you can set up a standing order online or over the phone. The usual steps would look something like this:

Log in to your online or mobile banking: using your username and password. 
Navigate to the payments section by selecting options such as "Pay and transfer" or "Payments and transfers" from the menu. 
Find the "Standing Orders" or "Regular Payments" section and select the option to create a new one. 
Enter the payee's details, such as their name, account number and sort code. 
Input the payment details, including the amount, frequency, start date, and any reference. 
Review the summary: check your standing order to ensure all the information is correct. 
Authorise the setup: using your card reader or mobile app to confirm the standing order. 
Confirm that the standing order has been set up.

You can cancel a standing order at any time, or change the amount or payment date.

Parents/Carers can also login into their School Gateway account HERE and select ‘School Fund Voluntary Donation’. Our standard suggested donation is £30, although we welcome any larger contribution you are able to make.

We of course fully understand that not everyone will be able to contribute towards the School Fund. It might be that you feel unable to donate £30, but would like to make a smaller donation - this would of course also be very welcome. 

If you would like to make a smaller or larger contribution, it would be helpful if you could please advise the Finance Office via the email below, so that the School Gateway portal can be amended:
