We are incredibly grateful to our families and wider community for the generosity they have shown over the years. Thanks to your support, together with the tireless work of our PTFA, we have been able to achieve some fantastic improvements for our children.
One of our biggest successes has been securing our two school minibuses. These have transformed the opportunities we can offer our pupils by enabling educational visits, sporting fixtures and enrichment activities throughout the year while keeping costs as low as possible for families.
Although we have now achieved this important milestone, there are ongoing costs involved in running and maintaining the minibuses, alongside many other projects that continue to enrich school life. We are therefore inviting parents who are able to do so to make an annual voluntary contribution to our School Fund.
There is no expectation or obligation to contribute and every donation, whatever the amount, is greatly appreciated.
Why donate?
Your contribution helps us continue to provide opportunities that go beyond our core school budget, including:
- Maintaining and operating our school minibuses
- Enhancing our OPAL play provision
- Developing our Forest School and outdoor learning spaces
- Purchasing additional technology and learning resources
- Improving our school grounds and play equipment
- Supporting enrichment activities that benefit all children
Every pound donated stays within our school community and directly benefits our pupils.
Suggested donation
We suggest a voluntary donation of £10 per child each year, or £8 per child for families with more than one child attending the school.
If you are able to give more, we are extremely grateful. If you are unable to contribute at this time, your child will continue to benefit fully from everything the school provides.
Gift Aid
If you are a UK taxpayer, please consider making your donation through our Wonderful fundraising page so that Gift Aid can be claimed at no extra cost to you. This increases the value of your donation and means even more money goes towards supporting our children.
Thank you for helping us provide the very best opportunities for every child at Bridge & Patrixbourne.
