Please help us replace our stolen minibus

Our school minibus was stolen in April 2024. The minibus was insured however a replacement bus will cost at least an additional £10,000.00 due to the rising value of these types of vehicles.

The whole school community has been devastated by the theft.

The children, their families and the school raised funds over several years to initially buy the minibus in 2021. We were all so proud to have achieved our target and the children were excited when the minibus was delivered and their learning could be enhanced.

The mini-bus enabled the school to offer further learning enrichment opportunities. This included taking our children to sporting events such as inter school football, rugby and hockey competitions. It transported our students to their swimming lessons - a vital life skill. We were able to visit local nature reserves and historical places, such as Fotheringhay Castle, to compliment the curriculum and enrich our children's learning. A minibus widens our ability to provide more for our children and we really miss having one.

We were also able to loan the minibus out to other educational groups. This benefit to the community has also been affected.

We kindly ask for your support and donations to help us achieve our goal. Your generosity will directly contribute to the enhancement of our pupils' education and overall school experience.

Thank you for your help and support.
