Governors Fund

With your help we will make a difference to our students today and for years to come.

As a Voluntary Aided (VA) school, the responsibility for maintaining our buildings and educational facilities rests with the governing body. This means that we are not fully funded by the Government in the same way that other local schools are. When any repairs need to be made to our school or grounds, the governing body are required to pay 10% of any building costs, including property maintenance.

We therefore rely on the generosity of parents/carers and friends to ensure that we have enough money both for property maintenance and to help towards the long-term development of the school. The Governors’ Fund is really important as it helps us to provide for the needs of all our students in so many ways.

Parents/carers of children at Holy Trinity School are invited to make a one-off or a regular monthly contribution to this fund. These contributions can be ‘Gift Aided’ so that the school can claim back income tax already paid on the donations.

In 2026 our new school building is being funded from central government but it is down to the Governors, and ultimately you as parents and carers, to provide any new tables, chairs, science equipment, etc. that goes into the new building. We now need your help to make sure we have the necessary funds to provide all we need to equip our new school buildings.

Whatever the size of your contribution, all donations will be very much appreciated and every penny we receive will go towards maintaining and improving the educational facilities at Holy Trinity School. Governors urge all parents/carers to consider contributing in some way to our fund, so that we can ensure that at Holy Trinity School we have the very best educational facilities to enable every student to maximise their potential to succeed.
