Fundraising at Stringer
The Dorothy Stringer School Fund is a registered charity – 1071616
The Dorothy Stringer School Fund exists to raise money to enrich the experiences of every student who comes to the school. We are proud of the huge range of extra-curricular activities that we offer, and it is largely thanks to the enormous amount of support and time our staff give without charge to deliver these activities. But there are costs to all for which we receive no contribution from our statutory funding. We can only continue to deliver this enriched experience with your support.
Current fundraising campaign
At the moment we are raising money for a new minibus and we’ve been working on a number of events and initiatives to help us hit our £33,000 target. Keep an eye on the Weekly News and SLG for information on our upcoming fundraising events. We’re also looking for businesses that may be interested in sponsoring a minibus – if you know of a business that may be interested, please get in touch with us at communications@dorothy-stringer.co.uk.

We’re also looking for parents to join our fundraising group, the Stringer Supporters! We’re a group of staff and parents who meet termly to have a chat and discuss ideas for supporting the school with its fundraising targets. If you’d like to join us, email dstringerparents@gmail.com and we’ll let you know about our next meet up.
