Deer Park School - Sponsored Walk - June 29, 2023

On Thursday, 29th of June, the Deer Park children and staff will be walking a total of over 2000 kilometres to raise money for the school. 

This will be the second time that our community comes together collectively like this to fundraise for our school! We hope this is an inspiring and memorable day for the children, staff and volunteers and one that becomes a much liked tradition for our school's community.

On the day, every Deer Park child will complete an age-appropriate walking challenge in Richmond Park with their teachers. Walking distances range from 2 km to 12 km, which we believe to be both achievable and stretching for the children and a true opportunity for them to display the Deer Park School HEART values. All children will finish their walking challenges at Petersham Gate and participate in a whole-school celebratory picnic before returning to school.

What are we raising money for?

This year, we will be raising funds for Sports and The Arts at Deer Park, so that all pupils are able to access a wider range of sporting, artistic and cultural opportunities. This will involve hiring a range of sports pitches each week for our PE provision in local parks, re-stocking the art room so that genres such as printing, sculpture, ink drawing and oil painting will be possible, and funding performances and workshops for the children to experience a broad range of culturally enriching opportunities over the course of the year.

In recognition of this target and the challenge that the children will undertake, we are suggesting a donation starting at £10 per child.

Thank you so much for supporting your child and Deer Park School!
