You may have seen school budgets have been progressively cut over the past few years. Hall Mead has always managed its budget prudently and has prioritised recruiting and retaining the best teachers and maintaining our smaller class sizes. However, this has led to a reduction in our IT budget and many of our computers are now getting old and slow. To remedy this we have negotiated a deal to replace all the computers in classrooms but will need your help to finance this. We need to raise around £ 60,000 in order to support our reduced budget and aim to do so by the Summer!

We are very aware that these austere times means that you may too be feeling the financial squeeze but if you could support our fund-raising this will be of direct benefit to the current children at Hall Mead.

If you still have a child at the school the best way to donate is through ParentPay and the Computer Upgrade option, as this will gain Gift Aid. Alternatively you can follow this Just Giving link XXXXX or you can hand in cash/cheques to school reception in an envelope marked Computer Upgrade.

We seek a donation of £ 30 from each of our FaceBook ‘friends’, but feel free to give more or less.

If there are former pupils or parents who can help but are not on this page please share this appeal with them.

Many thanks for your support.
