Help keep US moving! Fundraising for a new school minibus

We are incredibly proud of the wide range of extra-curricular activities offered here at Uffculme School, all of which play a vital role in enriching our students’ learning experience. However, with the rising cost of transport it has become increasingly challenging to maintain this high standard of provision.

To try to reduce our reliance on leased and hired vehicles and the associated costs, we are launching a fundraising campaign to purchase a school minibus. Our ambitious goal is to raise £25,000, which will allow us to buy a reliable vehicle dedicated to transporting students to sports fixtures, educational trips and other activities.

How You Can Help

Our students are taking part in a range of fundraising activities over the coming weeks and we hope that parents, carers and other friends and family will support them in their efforts. One of these is our Try-Uff-Lon two-week challenge, which we are encouraging all students to participate in and where possible to seek sponsorship for.

In addition, parents can contribute directly through ParentPay, making it quick and easy to donate. Every contribution, big or small, will help us move closer to our goal and ensure our students can continue to benefit from the rich experiences that make our school special.

For those members of the school community who do not have ParentPay, we can accept cheque, card or bank transfer payments. Please email finance@uffculmeschool.bep.ac, who will be happy to assist.
