The SSOF raises money to fund much needed equipment and activities for all students at the school. It helps support the extensive enrichment programmes at Sheldon – including subsidising trips and providing materials for clubs and activities like DofE and Ten Tors. Without your support, student activities would be much more expensive!

This year, we are focusing on investment around the school. We want our students to enjoy the outside areas and have fun activities during breaks and lunchtime. The SSOF has already donated £1,000 from the fund for the new basketball hoops in the playgrounds for use during break and lunch. We want to raise more funds for further games equipment, seating areas and activities for all students to enjoy. With this in mind, we have launched a campaign with Justgiving to help raise fund for our playground project. Please donate and share the link to anyone who may be interested in supporting our children!

The more money we can raise, the more we can provide!

We also have a few new fundraising events coming up. Save the date for our adults only quiz night on Friday 28 June at 7pm. More details to come about how to register your team. It will be a great night of fun to support Sheldon students!

If you would like to join the SSOF to help organise an event or have a business that could sponsor a raffle prize, please contact us at opportunityfund@sheldonschool.co.uk

 

I didn’t realise until I was older that the things i learned weren’t all academic - I was shown how to be a better person and express myself due to some really amazing teachers.
