HELMDON PRIMARY SCHOOL into the 21ST CENTURY

We are at the beginning of a new century and millennium. At Helmdon School we would like to celebrate this by establishing a computer suite by converting an area of our Reception classroom. This will help to fulfil the necessary educational demands, now and for the future. The earlier the children have the chance to learn the better. An ICT working party has been formed comprising of parents, teachers and Governors in order to develop the future of ICT within Helmdon School and we are seeking to purchase 12 additional computers for the new suite.

We are looking for financial support from the community and industry to achieve this. As you no doubt appreciate funding such an undertaking is always an issue for schools, particularly a small village like ours. Being a rural school we have very few local companies who can provide the financial support needed to meet the challenge.

The challenge is to raise £20,000 and we are asking for your support to make this project a reality. Even a small donation would be gratefully received and used towards the development. We are proposing to open the computer suite with the maximum publicity and would invite the press to the Grand Opening.

The school has already secured a £7000 grant to cover the costs of building alterations and redecoration in addition to donations of new lighting and benching. Parents have sponsored stools and two separate villagers, who wish to remain anonymous, have donated £1,400 in order that we may purchase our very first two computers. Parents at school have already begun fund raising in earnest and have to date have raised the sum of £231 in just two weeks!

If you would like to help Helmdon School meet this challenge by making a contribution, however, small, cheques should be made payable to “Helmdon Primary School” and sent into the school office a.s.a.p. All donations will be gratefully received.

Please feel free to contact the school by telephoning [phone number removed] if you require any further information regarding this project and ask for Mrs Jo Wright or Mrs Rose Darwin.
