Current Fundrasing
 

Weʼre raising £1,500 to help fund a new set of school laptops/tablets.

Can anyone help? Charlotee Russell, one of our members of staff has started a Just Giving Page to  raise funds for a set of laptops/tablets in order for children have one each during ICT sessions. ICT has become a huge part of our world and giving the children the opportunity to become part of that is something we feel very passionate about. I know this is a huge ask during these very unprecedented times but this is something we have needed for a long while in order for the children to develop their ICT skills. If you are able to make a donation no matter how big or small we would be truly grateful.

We really appreciate your help!

We have been working with Lymington Based Photographer Helen Renouf - Renouf Design - who has been and will continue to take photographs of the children at school and in various learning enviroments. These photos may be used on our web site and in our publications if you have given permission to do so.

The most recent albums from the photoshoots are available on her web site. They are securely passworded until the school office has had time to view the images and make sure that all children whose faces are shown have permission to be there. If there is any photo you wish removed please contact Helen or the school office directly (with the album & photo details)

All images are available to purchase as digital downloads, direct through the web site galleries. Visit: www.renoufdesign.co.uk

Thank you for your support.

We are collecting working computers, ipads and tablets here at school so that can use with the children to extend their IT experiences. We are aware that not every family in our school community have access to these at home, and we are aiming to build a bank of resources through fundraising and donations to enable all children to have access where they are struggling.

If you are able to help in anyway please conact the school office. We would love to hear from you.

• Work place upgrade - we would love to be considered for your old usable computers
• Personal upgrade - we would be interested in your old working machine
• Want to fundraise for something specific... we would love anything new donated.

Matt and Ellie from Lymington Computer Repairs, has kindly offered to help get any donated computers up and working for the children to use, within the first week of our appeal they were able to repurpose 24 laptops for us to utilise for families in need.

Matt can be contacted directly via Lymington Computer Repairs or his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LymingtonComputerRepairs
