Help us build a nursery at St Richard’s

Little Stars Banner

As part of our Golden Jubilee celebrations, we would like to extend the Federation by building a nursery. This will be located on the site of St Richard’s Catholic Primary School and will mean we can provide a 3 – 19 Federation.

The nursery will be called Little Stars and will cater for sixteen children in the morning and sixteen children in the afternoon.

Here’s how it works:

You choose which virtual brick you would like to buy; your money then goes towards the building materials for the nursery.

In return for your contribution, you will receive a letter of thanks. In addition, your name and how much you donated will go into a special book of donations, here you can record a special message to the school or loved ones, this will be displayed along with your name and donation.

This book will be available in the nursery for visitors to see. This information will also appear online on our website.
