Help us improve school facilities!
We are writing to introduce our School Fund to you. This is a fund operated in all Trust Schools and the Ada Lovelace Governing Body will manage it to fund projects over and above what would otherwise be possible.
Our School Fund is built up from financial donations from parents/carers and is held in a separate bank account to other funding. It has a very important function which helps pay for additional facilities and development projects.
Use of the School Fund will be decided by the Governing Body in consultation with the Parents and Teachers Association (the PTA), of which you are all members. The fund-raising aim of the PTA is to support our departments in school with purchasing of equipment and resources. The School Fund part or fully funds larger, more long-term investments in the fabric of the school,
The money raised by the School Fund so far has already funded the Ada Lovelace themed sculpture for the playground to inspire the pupils and create our Ada Lovelace identity, as well as the stone benches for two areas in the playground. It has also provided the capital funding for the school garden.
In 2023/4 it has funded the amazing new artwork in the new School Chapel and will help ensure the new Inclusion room that is being fitted out over the summer holidays will be as welcoming as possible for our students.
During the next academic year, we would like to use the School Fund to make a significant contribution towards the school’s financial input of the new Astro Pitches, which several Sports Charities are also contributing to.
Donations can be one off, annually, or monthly. The following are suggested amounts for monthly contributions.
- £10.00 monthly for each pupil (equivalent to a cup of coffee a week)
- £20.00 monthly for each pupil (equivalent to one primary school breakfast club a week)
- £30.00 monthly for each pupil (equivalent to one primary school after school club a week)
It’s amazing what a little from a lot of people can do.
Below is the link to the online giving page. Please be sure to select Ada Lovelace School Fund to ensure your donation supports the correct school. We also strongly encourage you to complete the Gift Aid Form if you pay UK income tax. By doing so you will add 25% to the value of your donation.
If you have any questions about the School Fund, please contact Mrs Hamri via email on [email protected]
Thank you for supporting your child’s education, and that of all the students at Ada Lovelace CofE High School, part of the Twyford CofE Academies Trust.
Kind Regards
Mr Keir Smith & Mrs Emma Harniman
