St Peter's Primary School and Cassington Pre-School are hoping to carry out their first major refurbishment in 40 years. The project will enable the school to extend its provision to include 3 year olds by merging with the existing playgroup and creating a purpose-built foundation unit with greatly improved facilities and teaching environments. The PTA and playgroup need to raise £25,000 towards the total cost of the build and we hope to raise £5000 of that from our local community.
Why the community needs usThe creation of a foundation unit will secure the long term future of the school through increased capacity, as well as limiting to two the number of year groups in each classroom. It will allow St Peter's to compete with other rural schools in Oxfordshire and provide much needed early-years teaching provision for Cassington and the surrounding community.
Our impact on the communityIt is hoped that this appeal will embed the school in the heart of our community. Furthermore, the creation of an outstanding teaching and learning environment will enable the school to attract and retain the best staff and ensure the best outcome for future generations.
Yes - we are always looking for people to join the Pre-School committee or Primary School PTA to help with fundraising.
