Anchorage PTA
The Anchorage Association is the external support group for Endeavour, comprised of parents, staff, and volunteers. The registered charity number is 268679. The aim of the Anchorage Association is to raise funds to assist the school in projects that they identify as a means of supporting pupils and enhancing their learning experience.
In the past, the funds raised have helped finance playground equipment, iPads, minibuses and therapies. They also contribute towards school trips and our Year 11 leaver’s prom to celebrate their time at Endeavour.
Claire Rayner joined The Endeavour Co-operative Academy in June 2018. Her role involves applying for grants and sponsorship for the resources and opportunities our learners need to achieve their potential. She also manages the Amazon wishlist and EasyFundraising (please see below). Currently, Claire is focusing on the facilities we need for our new school building to ensure our learners' sensory and physical needs are met and that our learners benefit as much as possible from their time at school. Claire would welcome the opportunity to discuss any ideas you have to support our fundraising, and you can contact her at crayner@kcat.co.uk.
