Due to our voluntary-aided status as a school, we have to raise 10% of the money needed to pay for the ongoing development of the school, including the buildings’ maintenance, facilities and equipment. These funds must be raised separately from all the good work done by Friends of Bishop Gilpin. Without this money it is impossible for the school to maintain its infrastructure to the high standard we have in all other areas of our children’s educational experience. The BG School Fund was therefore established by the School Governors to receive contributions from parents and carers. Your support can help us to Be Great in everything that we do.
