Help us raise money to pay for the installation of a puffin road crossing on the busy stretch of road outside the Academy gates.

Our students have campaigned for several years to improve road safety along Douglas Avenue after the Academy relocated from Exeter in 2020.

Now East Devon's Highways and Traffic Committee has approved plans to install a £100,000 puffin crossing on the stretch of road outside the main Academy site. However, the Academy must raise £30,000 towards this cost.

The puffin crossing scheme will include high friction road surfacing and advanced warning signing on both approaches. It will also have visual, tactile and audible pedestrian indicators to help users cross safely.

The Academy is a registered charity and much of its work relies on fundraising. Its Trustees have agreed to match every pound donated to this page, thanks to a recent kind legacy. So the value of any donation will be doubled!

Anything you choose to give is hugely appreciated.
