This year's Annual Fund appeal has been sent to all parents, Old
Boys and Old Girls and is designed to raise enough to support
our bursary fund and a range of exciting projects across the entire
School that cannot be covered by the main budget.
Participation is the key - every gift will make a
difference no matter the size, please consider giving whatever you
can.
Find out more about the different ways you can donate to the
School's Annual Fund appeal this year. Your gift will be
allocated strictly according to your preference and the projects we
want to fund this year include:
Providing talented young people who
are restricted by their means with much needed bursary support
remains our top priority. Currently, one in every six of our senior
school pupils receives some sort of bursary assistance, but in the
current unsettled economic climate it is crucial we look to
increase the available assistance as much as we can.
This year, the Boys' Division
donations will be put towards a new 'In residence at Bolton School
fund'. This will allow the boys to invite numerous prestigious
professionals, for example artists, musicians, business figures,
eminent scientists and authors to visit the school to conduct
seminars, master classes or workshops, enriching our extra
curricular programme of activities. The opportunity to meet such a
variety of successful individuals will inspire the boys and
crucially will encourage them to develop their own ambitions for
the future.
Park Road is hoping the Annual Fund
will raise money towards an outside classroom including new plants,
planters, bird boxes, a living willow area and new seating.
The Girls' Division have requested
funding to improve the sound equipment in the Great Hall. This
would allow them to make better use of the Hall during their
performances, concerts and Speech Day. Donations will go towards
the purchase of a new mixing desk and speakers ans also an
induction loop to allow grandparents, Old Girls and those with
hearing difficulties to also fully enjoy their visits to the
School.
All donations to Junior Girls this
year will help fund the landscaping of their new playground
including a planting area (with a vegetable patch and garden) for
outdoor lessons, a log cabin, a seating area and some new playtime
equipment.
With support from the Annual Fund,
Beech House would like to add a sand and water station to their
already exciting playground.
