Our school minibus was recently stolen, and with it we lost something that plays a vital role in the life of our pupils.

The minibus is far more than just transport. It gives our pupils access to opportunities they would not otherwise have—school trips, sporting fixtures, enrichment activities and experiences that build confidence, independence and lasting memories. For many of our pupils, these moments are some of the most important and inspiring parts of their school journey.

Replacing the minibus (as new) will cost around £50,000, but unfortunately the insurance payout has only provided £10,000 (the value of the old minibus). This leaves us with a significant shortfall that we simply cannot meet within existing school budgets.

We are therefore reaching out to our community for support. Every contribution, no matter the size, will bring us closer to restoring something that makes such a difference to our pupils’ lives.

Your generosity will help ensure that our pupils continue to benefit from experiences beyond the classroom—helping them to grow, achieve and create positive memories that will stay with them for years to come.

Thank you for taking the time to support our school.
