CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT FUND

This fund is accessible by teachers and is available to enhance classroom learning. The CDF  

has its own committee and is headed by the Deputy Head of Curriculum, Nigel Walkey. Last

year awards were made to observe new and innovative learning techniques at one of the

worlds premiere music education centres and to develop a philosophy website devoted to

teaching and thinking about ethics.

LIGHTS FOR DRAMA

Current and former parents will know first hand how fantastic the school productions are and

previous years Programmes have already given £2,500 towards new lights for Ritchie Hall. To

help us provide the department with all the invaluable equipment they need we are aiming to

raise a target sum of £6,000.

TRAVEL BURSARIES

Every year the school offers a range of trips providing students with insight into different

cultures and countries. This fund helps those unable to travel without finacial assistant.

NEW TELESCOPE

Our inspiring astronomical target is the 14" Meade LX200R telescope. Astronomy is now a

critical element of hte curriculum in Physics particularly at Key Stage, GCSE and A Level

making this equipment essential.

TROPHY CABINET

The school's trophies are currently stored out of sight. Therefore a new home to display them

would be wonderful.

SERVICE BOOKS

As one of the oldest cathedral foundation schools in the world it is appropriate we have a

service book in line with most other Christian independent schools.

THREE NEW VIOLAS

The school owns few extra instruments, and in particular, hardly any violas.
