Every single gift helps. Here are just a few routes we can take …​

Gifts of £20 for all 1100+ students on roll. ​

22 gifts of £1000.​

16 gifts of £1400. ​

*A gift aid declaration boosts a gift by 25p for every £1 given, and there are additional benefits for higher rate tax-payers. For example, a gift of £20 from you, along with a gift aid declaration, is worth £25 to our appeal. In the same way, £1,400 becomes £1,750.​

On  your gift form please state ‘Minibus’ to ringfence your gift.​

The challenge…​

We are at the end of a 5-year lease.  The annual cost of £5,000 (lease and maintenance) has been funded by our annual Enrichment Fundraising and previously by PTA. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed. ​

Purchasing the minibus for £27,500 represents best value to the School. The total mileage is just 9000, low for the age of the minibus, which is mechanically reliable. Whilst, in line with the School’s commitment to Net Zero, an electric equivalent is prohibitively expensive at present, and the minibuses are smaller than our 16-seater. ​

Reserves as a result of your prior generous giving, via the Enrichment School Fund, means that we are able to take the opportunity to purchase the vehicle.​

We now want to ensure that the Enrichment School Fund is ready to deliver a comprehensive future programme, hence this appeal.

Thankyou so much!
