Voluntary Contributions

At Earlsfield we feel very fortunate to be part of a strong community and benefit greatly from the overwhelming support of our parents and carers, thank you!

We are proud of what we continue to achieve as a school, consistently maintaining high educational standards whilst providing a fully inclusive, full and exciting curriculum for our pupils. We have endeavoured to maintain these standards against a difficult educational and financial backdrop.  

In the past we wrote to all parents outlining the challenges facing schools. Regrettably these challenges have not changed. Indeed the pressures on school funding within the borough and nationally have continued to have an impact on school budgets. 

We know that we are in a good position as we have a relatively stable roll, however the forecast for the next three years suggests that if we maintain our current trajectory of expenditure then our reserves will continue to reduce significantly. 

Again, we have been asked by our parents what they can do to help support the school.  Therefore, if you can, we would welcome voluntary contributions - ideally on a monthly basis. We will continue to use these contributions to pay for classroom and curriculum resources as well as support the maintenance and improvement of the school premises. 

We are asking families, only if they have the means to do so, to make a voluntary contribution as a monthly standing order. The identity of those donating will be confidential and will not extend beyond the Head Teacher and the School Business Manager.

Please note again that our request is for an entirely voluntary contribution. We are sensitive to the pressures on families in challenging financial circumstances and respect that a contribution at this time might not be possible.

The school’s bank account details for voluntary contributions /setting up standing orders is:

We do hope that you appreciate the spirit in which this request is made and any donation, however big or small, will be hugely appreciated. We hope you understand that we would not take this step lightly and thank you in advance for your generous consideration of this request.
