significant contribution to the school for the
fit out of a “Sensory room” to provide an
alternative quieter space, a new “white
board” for classroom use, an additional
dining table and a new table tennis table. In
addition, expenses included the annual
subscriptions to literary and science
resources which are used throughout the
school, and payments to music resources
for whole class lessons and singing
assemblies. In addition, significant
contributions were made to the school’s

connection to the fantastic outdoor space
created by the school.

funds to support the school investment, the
fundraising activities organised by the
Trustees bring cohesiveness between the

enrich the school experience for all those
involved, especially the children for whom
this charity is set up to benefit.
