2024-25 WKGS School & Community Fund

We focus on retaining our highly qualified and effective staff to ensure the quality of education continues to be exceptional. We also continue to offer every student an incredibly broad curriculum realising the value and worth of every subject. This allows students to pursue true areas of passion, avoiding the need to narrow this offer in the way that many other schools have. Doing these things uses up all of our funding received from the Government.

Against this background, our School & Community Fund provides the means to pay for the ‘little extras’ that we wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford to provide for our students.

Your contributions are always gratefully received and support various activities including visiting speakers, master classes, workshops, specialist resources for departments to enrich their curriculum and for treats and celebrations of student success.

We may also use some of this funding to allow us to act quickly to support students, staff, parents, carers and members of our West Kirby alumni, who need support and who would otherwise have nowhere to turn to for help.

Please take a look at our 2023/24 report to gain an insight into the activities and equipment that we were able to support using your generous donations last year.

Why Does WKGS Need Your Support?

All schools are under financial pressure due to unfunded pay awards for staff, energy cost increases and general inflation. Also the impact of school funding failing to match inflation since 2010/11 is a cut of £780,000 per annum in funding for our school. WKGS School Cuts Website
