Dear Parents/Carers

SCHOOL BUILDING APPEAL

As you may know, over recent years we have undertaken many buildings improvement projects in order to keep St Joseph's up to standard for our children. These include: toilet refurbishment, a heating upgrade, new fire doors, new windows, a new Out of School Club and more recently an additional classroom due to our increasing numbers (key to keeping our class sizes smaller). All of these, together with "the great flood of summer 2015", (the boiler was not covered by insurance due to its age) have left the school Building Fund empty.

In order to make improvements now and in the future we need to re-build the pot. You can help by donating to your children's school. For every £1 you donate St Joseph's will get a further £9 from the Government or Diocese. Also, if you complete the Gift Aid Form, we can re-claim your hard earned tax!

We appreciate that times are hard for everyone, but if you do wish to donate you can either:

1.  Regular payment by standing order

2.  One-off contribution

You can pay using any of the following methods:

·  Online banking (direct debit or one off payment) using the following account details

Account Name: St Joseph’s School Governors

Name of Bank: HSBC, 23 High St, Malmesbury, Wilts

Account Number: 81206540

Sort code: 40-31-07

·  Or send your payment into school in an envelope marked ‘Building Fund’ or in the envelope supplied with this letter.

Yours faithfully

Tony Lynch
