Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page!

Please help us raise funds towards sports equipment for our new Sports Hall. We desperately need your help to get over 'the final hurdle' so that we can cross the finish line by Sept'19.

Our plans are as exciting as they are ambitious. If we are going to truly transform the facilities we would like to replace the old, worn out sports equipment and furnish one additional changing room. With no funds available to purchase brand new equipment - estimated at a cost of just under £65,000 - we need to raise the money ourselves and we ask you to support us in our journey!

Huge thanks to all the parents who have been donating via ParentPay - your generosity is greatly appreciated and we are overwhelmed by your support. THANK YOU!!
