Story
Unveiling VCF: The Voluntary Contribution Fund (VCF) is your ticket to enhancing the educational journey at our school. Let's explore its significance together!
The Class Size Secret: We believe in smaller class sizes, with only 28 students, to provide personalized attention and guidance. But this commitment comes at a cost. We lose funding for two children annually, equating to £56k, due to these smaller classes. We need your support to maintain this quality of education.
Your Monthly Gift: While the amount you contribute is entirely up to you, we recommend £10 per month per child. This small monthly donation goes a long way in supporting our school's budget.
Easy Contributions: Donating to the VCF is simple. You can either make a monthly contribution through our JustGiving page, or if you prefer, you can create a standing order with your own bank.
VCF vs. PTA Contributions: It's important to understand that VCF and PTA contributions serve different purposes. While the PTA enhances student experiences, the VCF focuses on supporting teaching and learning directly.
Gift Aid Boost: If you're a British taxpayer, you can amplify the impact of your contribution through Gift Aid. For every £1 donated, we can claim an extra 25p. Your support reaches new heights.
Your Choice, Your Support: Always remember that contributing to the VCF is entirely voluntary. Your generosity is handled discreetly.
Let's Connect: For any questions or more information, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Headteacher, Mrs. Fenella Reekie, via the school office at 01628 482734 or office@cookhamdean.org.
Thank You for Being Heroes: We're incredibly grateful for your role in our school community. Together, we're making a world of difference in our children's education.
