Development Fund

Providing an excellent education is only achievable through the financial commitment of the Trust, stakeholders, local council, PTA and alumni.

In common with most other schools and academies, at the start of each year we ask parents/carers to make a small voluntary contribution to help us provide some of the additional facilities and activities that make the school an enjoyable and engaging place for your son or daughter to spend their time. 

Last year, the generosity of our parents and carers meant that we raised over £3000 which we used to: 

• Improve our rewards for student achievement throughout the year (certificates, prizes and our Celebration Evenings) 

• Buy and create resources to support peer mentoring (older students who work to support younger students) 

• Purchase extra ‘non-essential’ equipment for fun activities for the students to engage in on our Year 7 Cross-Curricular Project, and our Founders Day activities 

• Improve the facilities around the site for children to use at social times (picnic benches) 

• Provide resources which were used on our Culture Week activities 

We recognise that the financial circumstances of families vary enormously and that some families are not in a position to make a contribution of this type. However, if you are able and willing to contribute to this then we would be very grateful and your money will go toward improving the educational experience that you son/daughter will enjoy. 

If you are willing to contribute to the School Fund this year, there are two options: 

1. You may pay a one-off payment of either £25, £50, £75, or £100 at the start of the year. If you wish to do this then please click the relevant button below 

2. Alternatively, rather than paying a lump sum now, you could pay by monthly by Direct Debit (restricted to the months of the school year remaining from your son or daughter’s start date if he/she is admitted mid-year). This could be of either £5 or £10 a month. 

If you would like to give a voluntary donation, either monthly or as a one-off payment then please follow the link through the buttons below for the amount you'd like to contribute. 

May I thank you very sincerely for any donations you can provide and assure you that all funds received will be spent improving the school experience for your child.
