1876 Fund

Thank you to OLs who continue to support the 1876 Fund. Your contributions continue to benefit the School and enable our pupils to gain access to exciting projects that enrich their learning experience. We highlight some examples here.

VEX Robotics

Thanks to the generosity of the OL community we have been able to widen the scope of our VEX Robotics programme, in which both our VEX IQ and VEX VRC teams have qualified for a place at the VEX World Championships in Texas.

Green car initiative

1876 Fund support has also helped fund the purchase of an electric car from The Greenpower Education Trust – a UK based charity that gets young people enthusiastic about science and engineering by challenging them to design, build and race an electric car. The car has been a really positive addition to our STEAM programme as pupils have revelled in the opportunity to build and design a sports car from scratch. Now in the final stages of its build, the car will take part in its very first race on 24th April – and our pupils are very much looking forward to testing out their creation. Our STEAM programmme continues to go from strength to strength, thanks to the OLs’ support, which means we can keep providing our pupils with amazing opportunities such as these.
