Who are we?

The Charlbury School Association (CSA) is a group for parents, staff and people who live and work in our community, who want to be involved with and support Charlbury Primary School.

We organise and run events for our children, families and community to enjoy, including bike rides, discos and summer events. At some of these events we raise money to support the school and each year we give funds to help the school to buy new classroom resources and playground equipment. Our current focus is to raise funds to build this amazing new Sports Pavilion for our community!

Why are we crowdfunding?

Located a short walk from the school, the playing field is currently underused for PE lessons and other outdoor learning activities because there are no facilities.

In 2023, the school was granted planning permission to solve this problem by building a Sports Pavilion. The building will provide essential toilets, a sports equipment storeroom, and an open classroom with adjoining kitchen.

Aside from improving the school’s physical educational offering, the building will contribute to Charlbury’s already strong sustainability credentials. Green building techniques will include locally sourced materials and rainwater collection while the living roof will enhance local biodiversity.

How we’ll spend the money raised

The money raised will pay for the building's construction costs. Any remaining funds will pay for the wildflower meadow around the pavilion and additional sports equipment for the school.  

Big thanks to Midland Felt Roofing for their in-kind contribution to supply and construct the living roof and to Space Program Architecture, a local practice who has donated their time to help us get this project built. 

Community impact

The playing field at Wychwood Paddocks is not just an important outdoor resource for the school, but is used regularly by local sporting clubs within our community such as Charlbury Town Football Club. Community social events also take place there including the annual bike rally.

The Sports Pavilion will create more opportunities for our community to use this outdoor space. It will also give the school vital fundraising opportunities such as hosting summer schools and other sporting events.
