Welcome to the St Richard's Appeal webpage. The Appeal was launched by the Headmaster, Nathan Cheesman, at Prize-Giving on the 9th July 2011 and has multiple objectives.

Primarily the intention is to refurbish Hirons Hall bringing it up to full "indoor sports hall" status; this will include re-roofing, re-cladding and installing heating.
The next phase is the creation of changing facilities alongside the Hall - this will have the added benefit of releasing a lot of pressure around the back corridors of the main building.
Having upgraded Hirons Hall we will turn to remodelling the 'staff' carpark; by landscaping the area and making the approach altogether more aesthetic we can create a larger, smarter parking area for staff, visiting teams and further space for cars for events such as the Christmas Fayre; this too will have the added benefit of improving the visual aspect of the back drive by which most of us approach the school on a daily basis.
Any further funds raised will be channelled towards the updating of other facilities within the school.

Our plan to raise the money is three-pronged :

via contact with our former pupils
by applying to charitable foundations
by a series of large events, of which the first will be a "Midsummer Madness" gathering on Saturday, 16th June 2012; these will be separate to our regular fundraising activities, such as the cake sales, Bag2School, candlelit dinners and the Christmas Fayre.

Our target figure is £300,000 though we see the Appeal as an on-going project in itself. We are not at this point in time putting a time-limit to the Appeal. We are also satisfied that all work undertaken can be done with minimum disruption to normal school activities.

Please join us in making this a successful and exciting project - we have set ourselves a demanding challenge but are confident that, with the loyal support of all those who come into contact with the school, it is all very achievable. If you feel able to help then please contact the Appeal Chairman, Hugh (Boz) Farey.
