Additional funds are raised at Robert May’s School through donations to the school.

These are used to fund the ‘extras’ to enhance the curriculum. Parents are able to donate a regular amount, monthly, quarterly, or annually to the school or just donate an ad hoc amount at any time. This can be done by downloading and completing a Bankers Order form.

Parents may also choose to donate refunds due to them (from the canteen, cancelled buses, lockers etc) instead of receiving the funds back to them.

The school is registered for Gift Aid so, if donating, Please complete a Gift Aid form if possible.

The school regularly receives donations from Friends of Robert May's School (FoRMS) so please support their activities and also register for easyfundraising. More details on this and other ways you can support FoRMS can be found on their page here

Funds are also donated from local charities and organisations.
