2. Teaching Materials: Provide essential classroom resources aligned with the New Primary Curriculum, including decodable readers, comprehension card sets and class novels.

3. Wellbeing & Sensory Space: Develop a sensory corridor and garden space to engage children in physical activities that stimulate their senses.

5. Sports Equipment: Upgrade PE equipment and expand our selection of yard games and activities.

6. School Environment: Refresh the school's aesthetics with new paintwork and murals to create brighter, inviting spaces.

With your support, we can transform The Harold School into a vibrant hub of learning and growth, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive into the future. Thank you for being part of this important journey!
