Sports
Hall Appeal: Initial Plans and Proposals |
|
|||||||
The Sports Hall shall transform the amount and type of sport available to students at BRGS. A Sport Hall will not only benefit students at BRGS but will also be of benefit to children from local primary schools and the wider community. The total cost of the project is £1 million. We have been working very hard to secure a number of early donations to our Appeal, and are delighted to report that we have reached £900,000 through careful management of the school’s reserves and generous support already received from companies, trusts and individuals. Raising the remaining £100,000 out of our target will be the most difficult stage of fundraising! You could help the school through making a regular contribution by standing order either on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly instalment. This soon adds up to large sums, especially as we can reclaim tax on your donations through Gift Aid, if you are a UK taxpayer. For example, for every £100 given to the appeal we can gain an extra £28 in tax you have already paid. Tables with various levels of giving are outlined in the Sports Hall Appeal leaflet available to download, which show how even modest contributions can add up to substantial amounts. Another option could be to make a single gift to BRGS.  To
make a gift to BRGS then please download either the:‘Regular Gift’ form or the ‘Single Gift’ form. Each of these forms includes a gift aid declaration for you to sign to enable us to claim back tax. We hope that you will consider helping us in some way, however small or large as your circumstances allow. Your support will be acknowledged on a Roll of Honour, or you may wish to keep your support anonymous.

BRGS’ sporting
reputation is very high. Last year, we were successful in netball,
basketball and orienteering at national and county championship
level.
We
do not have a tradition of requesting financial support for our capital development
plans. Many other schools do, and after exploring all options available to us
we realise that in this case, if we are to provide the best for our students
we are dependent on your support.
We
lack an indoor multi-sport facility of an acceptable size and standard. The school
gym has been criticised by Ofsted Inspection Reports as being below the recommended
level. It is frequently overcrowded with up to 90 children when lessons have
to be held indoors due to adverse weather.
