Donations for 150th Celebrations from parents

WOODLAND FOOD TECH SUITE

As part of the celebrations for our 150th birthday, we are continuing our investment into the school. Our major development is the Woodland Food Technology Suite, a project that has been championed by the boys.

We want to ensure our teaching and facilities retain our high standards, so that we can continue to produce excellent results by being purposefully small with boys who have an enthusiasm for life.

We rely on the generosity of our current parents, families and community to ensure the ongoing success of our school.

With your gift, we help secure the future so that more boys will benefit from a Lockers Park education as a solid foundation for their senior schools before going on to university, embarking on their career and for contributing to improving society.

Thank you in advance for your generosity

150TH PROJECT

We aim to extensively upgrade our extra-curricular provision, with the introduction of a Woodland Food Technology Suite. This amazing teaching resource would allow us to teach the boys how to cook and develop essential life skills. We are hoping to have an outdoor area for a pizza oven and BBQ to allow boarders more opportunity to dine outside whilst focusing on qualities of independence and collaboration. This area would include areas for students to grow their own food to understand the whole process. These improvements will cost GBP 750,000.

IMAGINEA SETTING....

surrounded by towering trees, fresh air, and the gentle rustle of leaves a place where nature becomes your classroom. Our Woodland Food Technology Suite is not just a workshop; it's a culinary adventure that blends the science of food with the wonders of the great outdoors.
