As well as organizing many great educational activities for the children and parents of the school, Coleridge Families also raises funds to provide equipment, facilities and services that are not provided by Local Education Authority (LEA).

Here you can see some of the items that have been funded from money raised by Coleridge Families.

Class Wishlist

This is a fixed sum of money per class, for teachers to buy things that they think will be useful for the class or year group

Christmas Parties

Each year a Christmas party is held for every pair of classes.  The parties are held in the classrooms during school time so all children are able to attend.  Coleridge Families funds the food and presents.

Easter Egg Hunt

Each year the Coleridge Nursery runs an Easter egg hunt for children.  Coleridge Families provides the Easter Eggs.

Year 6 Leavers Book

Each year the Year 6 students compile a momento of their time at Coleridge.  Coleridge Families traditionally puts money toward the production of the book.  Recently, the children have been very effective at doing their own fundraising for this.

Year 6 Journey

Coleridge Families provides a subsidy for some children to go on the year 6 residential trip, to ensure that all children in the school have the opportunity to take part in this inspiring character building experience.

Sports Council

A group of parents have set up the Coleridge Sports Council, aimed at improving the provision of sport in the school.  This includes purchasing sports equipment, arranging coaching in sports like tennis and cricket and helping children to compete part in competitions such as athletics. Coleridge Families has provided the financial backing for this project.

Parenting Classes

Coleridge Families has funded a new course for parents of children at Coleridge to improve their parenting skills.

Music Computers

Coleridge Families purchased a number of Apple computers to be used for music technology.

Playground Improvements

In 2009, Coleridge Families purchased a new climbing frame on the West site.  This cost approximately £20,000.

In 2010, Coleridge Families purchased an outdoor stage.  This cost approximately £13,000

We have also funded improvements in our Millennium Gardens and the infants playground on the East side.
