How Funds Will be Distributed

  • Thanks to your incredible generosity, the funds raised so far this year will allow us to invest meaningfully across the whole school community via the following avenues: 

    • Enhanced classroom technology for both pupils and teachers, supporting the digital literacy curriculum and ensuring our children continue to develop the skills they need in an increasingly digital world.
    • Increased classroom support across all year groups for the full academic year.
    • Continued investment in our school choir, enabling more opportunities for musical development, performance and enrichment.
    • Additional wellbeing and emotional support, ensuring children have access to the care and guidance they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
    • Support for ad hoc requests that benefit the whole school community. For example, during our recent Spirituality Day, the Friends funded an immersive bubble workshop — a wonderful experience that the children thoroughly enjoyed and will remember for a long time.


    As more money is raised throughout the reminder of the school year, The Friends will continue to work with the school to identify further opportunities for investment.
