About

Support Us Home About Support Us The Weald of Kent Enrichment & Development Fund As a school, we aspire to provide the best possible education for our students; one that supports and develops independent and inquisitive students, who enjoy learning, achieve, belong and are exceptionally well-prepared for life.

The Weald School fund plays a vital role in enabling us to meet these goals. Funding for schools from the government has been under pressure for a number of years now. As a result, more and more schools are now looking for additional sources of income.

The reality is that we are not a wealthy school, and we now need to look to the generosity of parents/carers, alumni and the wider community in order to help continue to develop our educational offer and one that rivals the very best state-funded schools. The Weald School fund will be used in a variety of ways to We are extremely grateful to parents for donating to this fund.

All donations will make a real difference to our students educational experience. All contributions are voluntary, but as a guide we are suggesting a monthly donation of 30.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.

Governing body (21 current, 4 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

21 governors are linked to a profile (all confirmed).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
