School Improvement Fund

We are a church school and do not receive any direct government funding for premises. As such we ask our parents to contribute £55 per year for each child at school. This money is used by the Governors to pay contributions to building projects and equipment initiatives for the school. For every £1 of voluntary contribution we can apply for additional funding for large projects which turns your £1 into £10. These contributions are voluntary.

Over the Easter holidays we made some important changes to our Reception class rooms, which included new floors, a new sliding door to partition Kangaroo class to provide separate teaching spaces for the children and full redecoration. The classes look fantastic and the children are enjoying the flexible class room spaces. Staff are seeing great benefits to the children’s learning already, with quieter spaces for the development of the children’s reading and phonics skills. None of this would be possible without the support of our families

You can make payments in a number of ways: monthly or annually, in cash, by cheque, or through our online payment system, Tucasi. Careful monitoring means we have been able to save money and can now pass these savings on to parents. The suggested voluntary contributions are:

  • First Child: £55 per year in advance OR £5 per month (12 months = £60)
  • Second Child: £55 per year in advance OR £5 per month (12 months = £60)
  • Third Child: £20 per year in advance OR £2 per month (12 months = £24)

We greatly appreciate all voluntary contributions, however small, as they help us to enhance and development your childrens learning environment.
