Bowerham School Foundation

The Governing Body have established a charity to help fund the School‘s existing pastoral activities.  This is intended to build on the kind donations we already receive and gain further benefit through claiming Gift Aid on applicable donations.  Money raised will primarily fund the successful Breakfast Club initiative, with surplus used to help any of our families who are struggling to pay for school trips or additional learning resources.

The charity will help our children achieve their educational potential despite barriers of financial hardship.  It does this by using donations to fund the following activities, in order of priority:
  • Provide food to run the Bowerham Breakfast Club, helping this to remain a free to use resource to those pupils who need it;
  • Provide specific additional learning support materials and equipment to those for whom such items have been recommended but are unachievable within family resources;
  • Provide financial grants to subsidise school trips and clubs where otherwise pupils will be unable to attend;
  • By exception, make financial grants to aid a pupil’s learning environment more holistically, through assistance for a specific requirement.

More details on how to donate will follow shortly.
