Development
BRGS aims to continue to provide a stimulating environment in which young people are able to contribute and succeed. We are determined to offer our students even better facilities to match the excellent education which we have come to expect. However, public funds are limited and school are compelled to rely upon peoples’ generosity and goodwill to ensure their future. For this, we need your help.
The tradition of benefaction at BRGS dates back to the foundation of the school initially as Newchurch Grammar School in 1702 by John Kershaw. This tradition of supporting BRGS has been strengthened recently with the support of so many former students, parents, current students, companies and charitable trusts with the successful completion of our Sports Hall Appeal, reaching our target of £1 million in 2006.
In autumn 2006 we launched our first ever Annual
Fund 2006/7
to focus on raising funds for a number of planned projects within school.
At the
launch of the Annual Fund, Marc Morris said: “We hope that the
launch of our inaugural Annual Fund is a great success and that together
we will set the stage for BRGS’s future.”
We hope that everyone who believes in the aims of BRGS and has benefited
from them will support future generations of students at the School. Your
contributions make a real difference to the life and work of students
at BRGS.
Our Development Committee meets regularly to inform and review fundraising and development plans at BRGS. We are extremely grateful for their support:
