         Each 
        year, pupils, parents and friends of the school contribute to the School 
        Fund, either directly by making a donation or by supporting sponsored 
        events. The Fund is used to subsidise sporting and other educational 
        trips and to purchase items of equipment that could not normally be 
        financed by the school’s allowance from the Local Education Authority. 
        In addition, the Fund is used to subsidise pupils wishing to attend 
        visits and residential courses. |
