WPA Benevolent Fund Success

Following a successful bid by Mr Goode to the WPA Benevolent Foundation earlier this year, we received £2,000 funding to regenerate the outdoor sports facilities available to our students. Now over 100 students use the new basketball, football and table tennis facilities daily. with many spectators using the new benches.

We are hoping to invest some more of the money in three new basketball nets, similar to those used in the Olympics and some portable football goals.

Thanks again for the 2K donation from WPA Benevolent fund.
