The current climate of reduced government funding for schools presents ongoing challenges. Despite our best efforts to sustain all our activities, many of these enriching experiences rely on additional support beyond our core budget.

To help maintain and grow our enrichment provision for the coming academic year, we are asking families, where possible, to consider making a voluntary contribution of £10 per term (£30 annually) per student. This contribution will go directly towards sustaining and enhancing our extracurricular and enrichment activities, ensuring they remain accessible to all.Contributors will be added into a monthly raffle for either a £50 cash prize or prize of an equivalent value, for each £10 paid contributors will receive 1 entry into each month’s draw.
