Anchorage PTA
The Anchorage Association is the external support group for Endeavour, made up of Parents, staff and volunteers. The aim of the Anchorage is to raise funds to assist the school in projects that they identify as a means of supporting pupils and to enhance their learning experience.
In the past the funds raised have helped finance the sensory room and sensory trail. They also pay for the year 11 leaver’s annual trip as a way of celebrating their time at Endeavour.
Most recently the funds raised were used to purchase a set of class iPads and storage trolley. This is proving to have a real impact on the learning and enjoyment of pupils.
Claire Rayner joined Endeavour in June 2018 after working as a fundraiser for another SEN school for over 3 years. Her role involves applying for grants and sponsorship for the resources and opportunities our learners need to achieve their potential. To date she has raised funds to support the school's therapy provision, the purchase of iPads, the renovation of the courtyard and the donation of resources to support horticulture and classroom activities.
She also manages the Amazon wishlist and EasyFundraising (please see below). At the moment, her focus is the modernisation of the Library, ICT Suite and the Hall to ensure our learners benefit as much as possible from these areas within the school. If you want to get in touch with Claire you can contact her at: crayner@kcat.co.uk
Please have a look at this letter from Claire. If you can help out in any way, please contact her: crayner@kcat.co.uk
Thank you for your consideration.
