As a school, we feel so incredibly grateful to be part of a community like Budleigh. We also feel very fortunate to have a head teacher liker Mr Hitchcock who has not only lead a school of over 300 pupils through a pandemic lasting over nine months, navigated delivering free school dinners to children at home, supported teachers who have to provide school teaching and home learning lessons, but has somehow also found the energy and dedication to Budleigh to co-found and Chair the Budleigh Covid Support Group which has to date (Jan 2021) raised and distributed over £30,000 to people in our town. Despite all of this, as a school we find ourselves in a position where financially we have not been able to hold a host of fund-raising events and are therefore keen to raise some much needed funds to ensure the ongoing education for the children and to provide for any additional needs they may have after huge amount of missed schooling since March 2020 Thank you so much for any support
