Governors' Maintenance Fund

Bishop Perrin School is a Church of England Voluntary Aided School. This means that the Governors are responsible for the upkeep of the exterior of the school buildings and the funds for this are outside the budget funded by the Local Education Authority.

 

The school is levied an amount per child which is payable to the London Diocesan Board for Schools (LDBS) maintenance scheme to help finance the ongoing maintenance. To avoid the school having to spend their teaching budget we ask parents to make a minimum annual voluntary contribution of £36 per child towards the cost of this scheme.

 

We encourage all parents to make this donation, as it benefits every child in our school.  Past examples of work carried out as the results of these donations include: reconfiguration of our Reception classroom; contributions to security of the school premises; refurbishment and upgrading of girls’ and boys’ infants toilets. During the Covid pandemic we supported the school by purchasing a number of Chromebooks, which helped with remote learning.

 

These voluntary contributions can be made by:

  • annual payments or monthly/termly standing orders to the GMF Bank Account:

         Bishop Perrin Church of England School Governors

         Account number:         80166103

         Sort code             :         40 46 30

         (Bank: HSBC) 

  • alternatively, payment can be made via your child’s SCOpay account. 

 

Most deductions made to the fund can be Gift Aided, allowing the Governors to claim this from HMRC.  If you pay income tax in the UK and agree to Governors claiming Gift Aid please complete the form, which can be downloaded by clicking on the link below.

We are very grateful to the generosity of our parents and the financial help they provide for the school. Parents are of course more than welcome to donate more than the recommended amount if they are able to do so.
