New Minibuses

Aim

Fundraising to replace our 20 year old minibuses improving access to trips, enrichment and opportunities for our students and community

We are excited to launch our fundraising campaign to help purchase new school minibuses, an investment that will benefit students across every year group and enrich school life for years to come.

Our minibuses play a vital role in supporting the many opportunities that take learning beyond the classroom. From sports fixtures, educational visits and music events to Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, enrichment clubs, volunteering projects and university visits, new, modern minibuses will allow more students to participate in experiences that build confidence, independence and aspiration.

As our enrichment programme continues to grow, so too does the demand for safe, reliable and accessible transport. New minibuses will help us:

•Increase participation in clubs, trips and competitions

•Provide more opportunities for students to represent the school

•Support curriculum enrichment and outdoor learning

•Improve access for all students, regardless of circumstance

•Strengthen links with our local community and partner organisations

To launch our fundraising efforts, we invite students, families, staff and the wider school community to run, jog or walk to take part in our Sponsored Park Run Weekend at Preston Park:

Saturday 20th June: 5K Park Run    Sunday 21st June: 2K Park Run

Every step will help us move closer to our goal.

We are also delighted to open this campaign to the wider community: Local businesses, organisations, former students, friends and supporters will be able to contribute through our crowdfunder webpage, where we will publicly recognise and thank donors for their generosity and support. Please do share.

If anyone would like to contribute to the school directly rather than via the crowdfunder, please contact [email protected].

Together, we can help ensure more students have access to the wider experiences that make school life memorable, inspiring and transformational.
