2018 Enhancement Appeal

Welcome to the 2018 Enhancement Appeal Since its launch in 2012, donations from the Boxhillian community to the annual appeal have helped to enrich the educational experience for all of our pupils whatever their interests or financial situation, and I would like to say a huge thank you to all of you who have given in the past.

Fees provide the necessities of our first class learning and warm, supportive, holistic and nurturing environment, and alongside that they have allowed us to fund the build of our new Sports Centre which will be opening in April of this year. Your support for the Box Hill School Enhancement programme allows us to provide enriched facilities and equipment for academic provision, sports and extra-curricular activities as well as supporting our bursary scheme. The gifts given to us over the last few years represent a whole community effort to support everything we love and cherish about Box Hill School, and allow the school to stay true to the Round Square IDEALS. As you know, we are not a wealthy school or as fortunate as some other longer established schools who benefit from large endowments. However, we do have a strong and loyal community with a ‘can do’ spirit and an ethos of helping ourselves and each other. This includes the establishment of the Box Hill School Trust in 1962 by a group of parents who literally ‘saved the school’.

The strength and impact of our Enhancement programme relies on your generosity. I hope you can make a donation, which at any level will make a very real difference, to life at Box Hill School.

Thank you so much for your help.
