What your organisation does

All funds we raise are used to benefit pupils and their families. We organise an Annual Christmas Fair on the school premises which not only raises much needed funds but has a vital role in raising the profile of the school in the community. We also provide funding for the upkeep and running costs of the School minibus; this ensures young people

have access to activities such as horse-riding, swimming, work placements and social events. We also hold regular sessions which are open to all parents and siblings and provide much needed support. The funding we provide to the school is used to purchase resources and services to enhance pupils learning experiences.
