Over the coronavirus pandemic, the income the school has been able to generate for itself through lettings has been reduced by around £200,000. When you combine that with budget cuts in recent years and extra expenses enforced by the pandemic, our school is under severe financial pressures. The main purpose of our PTA is to support the school in providing the high quality and well rounded education that our children deserve and that support is now more important than ever. The 40 and 40 challenge is our one big event this year and we need as much support as possible. Every penny we manage to raise will make a difference.
