Who are we?
Welcome to The Oaks Community Primary School, where our vision is to make a difference every day! We're a close-knit, caring community committed to providing the best opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and thrive both in and out of the classroom.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We’re raising money to build a much-needed basketball court at The Oaks Community Primary School. With rising costs impacting our budget, we’re unable to fund this project on our own. This court will give our students a safe, engaging space to stay active, develop new skills, and build teamwork. It will also be a valuable community resource, offering a place for families and neighbours to come together.
How we’ll spend the money raised
We will use the funds to cover the full installation of the basketball court, including purchasing sturdy posts and high-quality hoops, as well as preparing and surfacing the court to ensure it’s safe and durable for years to come. Every penny will go directly towards creating a top-notch facility that our students and community can enjoy
Community impact
This project will have a lasting impact on both our students and the wider community. It will promote physical activity, teamwork, and a healthy lifestyle for the children, helping them develop important life skills. Beyond school hours, the court will serve as a community hub, bringing families together and offering a safe, positive space for everyone to enjoy. It’s an investment in the well-being, connection, and future of our community.
