Danecourt school are raising money for a great campaign 'Imagine the impossible'

The Danecourt Desert Divas - Zoe Smith, Lauren Pope, Megan Tutty, Jayne Hehir and Becca Ausher will be trekking the Sahara Desert in Morocco to raise money for this great campaign 'Imagine the impossible' They have all self-funded this trip so every penny raised will go towards the campaign to provide an amazing learning opportunity for the children at the school and the wider community.

Please kindly donate to this great cause. Every little donation is appreciated. Donate

In addition to raising money for other charities, they are also raising enough money to buy an Immersive Classroom.

An immersive classroom allows you to bring the real world into your school through an immersive environment. Immersive spaces allow teachers to take children beyond the classroom, giving them experiences that they would not ordinarily encounter, such as outer space or the deepest darkest woods.

Immersive classrooms are the next generation of sensory learning for pupils with special educational needs. This is about making a difference to the lives of these young people, allowing them to succeed, achieve, and showing them that anything is possible. An immersive environment for these children would expand their horizons beyond the reality of their life in the school, home and community.

Don't worry, please call us anyway to discuss your ideal job.
