Fundraising – Europa School UK

Europa School Fund

The Europa School Fund is essential for ensuring we can support our unique curriculum. Our school relies on these donations to provide a range of support across our primary and secondary classes. we use the fund to support all our non-core and supplementary activities. These activities are not vital to the basic educational offering but they make the difference between a standard education and a great one. These are the parts that draw out shy students, engage the disengaged, support the struggling and stretch the most able.

If you can afford it, the voluntary donation requested is either £1 or £2 per day per child. However, if you can’t afford this much any amount will help.

1. Improve and extend toilets – The school is committed to improving the toilets, and we are working with the PTA on an improvement campaign. In addition, we need to make some structural improvements to the girls’ bathroom and changing area in the Old Gym and renew the flooring.

There is only one main boys’ toilet in the secondary school, and we aim to create a new boys’ toilet off the quad.

2. Creation of a new classroom – There are some smaller rooms in the clock tower that we need to merge to create a large classroom space, allowing for the continued growth in the secondary school.

3. Playground surface improvements – Still fundraising

We hope to install new safety flooring in P1 and P3 under the play equipment to allow for safe use. We would also like to also create a rain garden and quiet garden in P1 to reduce the remaining mud and enhance the playground further to improve drainage, but also care for the environment.

We are working with the PTA to improve the interactive play areas in all three playgrounds.

What is the School Fund

The School Fund is the £1 per day we request from parents for each child If you can afford more then £2 per day will make a huge difference. It is essential to fund the extra support and resources that enhance your children’s education and experience at school.

We need to maintain a contribution of £162,000 per school year. This is what we spend it on:

Primary

Emotional and Language Support Assistant

Additional language support sessions

Forest School leaders, training and resources

Classroom resources

Secondary

Art technician

New International Baccalaureate books for the library and class sets

Mental Health Training

This would not be possible without the support of our very generous parents.

If more parents could offer their support and contribute any amount regularly, we could offer even more to our school community.

What could we offer with more?

Extra language support

Enhanced training for SEN and Higher level teaching assistants to support students

Further classroom resources and enrichment speakers and visitors’ fund

More funds for school maintenance and upkeep of the site

Why does Europa need to raise money?

Europa is trying to do more than a typical state school and many schools are struggling to make ends meet without making significant cuts to staffing and curriculum. More critically, Europa is still in a transition stage: with only 2 language streams from S2 to S7 and new classrooms needed to accommodate the growing school. Lower than expected funding allocations, increased costs (pay increases, NI and pension costs and general inflation), and limited reserves leave the school unable to cover the costs of the transition stage without raising additional funds.
