We are thrilled and delighted to announce that the Fox family have offered to provide the sum of £250 a year for at least the next ten years to pay for the salary of a teacher to work in the village in Zambia. It really is a most generous offer and one for which we are very grateful.


Acknowledging our efforts as “such a worthwhile cause and as our own children have been so fortunate in terms of their education” the parents of one of our pupils, Mr. & Mrs Habbershaw of www.actiondry.co.uk have also been in touch. They have donated a years salary for a teacher. Many thanks.


A member of staff, who wishes to remain anonymous, has offered to sponsor a second teacher. A wonderful gesture and greatly appreciated by all.


Our thanks to the Leicester Tigers (Rugby Squad) for providing us with two tickets for a match against the ‘Barbarians’ in 2006.


Annina Whipp’s father was sponsored to the tune of £350 for running the marathon. A very special thank you to him.


We would like to acknowledge Pizza Express (Upminster) for their support.


Hewitt, Bacon and Woodrow were also keen to support our project. Their cheque for £200 was very much appreciated.


We are very grateful to Colin Steel (Chairman of the Parents Association) who kindly allowed all the money that the ‘expedition students’ raised on the school sponsored walk to go to Africa. This raised £435.


Our thanks also to Adrian Mahon for his gift of complimentary tickets to Madame Tussauds, Thorpe Park and the London Eye.


We must thank Paul and Frances Cosway of Cosway Villas in Javea, Spain who very kindly donated £140.
