Exciting new project - Classroom refurbishments this year in year 1-6 classrooms
We hope you have seen the letter sent this week from the chair of governors regarding contributions to the school building fund. We are very much looking forward to further improvements to our classrooms from years 1 - 6 this summer. All classrooms will be updated with new heating and cooling systems and with new suspended ceilings with LED lighting. Following on from last year's project to decorate and install fire doors to these classrooms, this will mean we will be providing our pupils with the best possible learning environment. We are delighted to have been allocated funding from the diocese for this project. However, as the letter this week explained, the school has to fund 10% of any project and therefore we have to pay £46,000 towards this summer's project. This is the reason why the school has a school building fund. At present we do not have this amount in our fund and this is why we are asking our parents to consider donations.
We greatly appreciate the generosity of our parents in supporting so many of our fundraising events, including our charity causes like the current one for CAFOD. Many of our parents already have standing orders to our building fund and we are very grateful for this regular income. However, we realise that sometimes parents may prefer to make an occasional donation when they can. This is why we have set up a school building fund option on Arbor in the School Shop section. This is set at £10 as we have to put in a nominal amount but you can opt to pay a number of £10 donations in the quantity option.
Whether making a donation through the app or by standing order, please do complete the gift aid form if you are eligible as a tax payer as this means the school can claim an additional 25% on your donation with no extra cost to you. We thank you in advance for any donations you are able to make.
Please see the link to both the standing order form and the gift aid form if needed.
