Kingsbury Academy Fundraising & Community Group

Kingsbury Academy Fundraising & Community Group Kingsbury Academy is a special educational needs (SEN) school in Coventry for pupils aged 4-11 Kingsbury Academy was previously a school for the blind.

A common question is ‘why can’t the playground be funded by the LA?’
The playground cannot be funded by Coventry city council because it’s part of the ‘Thrive Academy’ which is a small trust, it has no funds for the playground as it’s concentrating on expanding & making the school a much better space inside, so this playground will need to be fundraised for the children. The approximate co

sts of that project will be £30-40,000 pounds. We feel that with the support of you all, local businesses and the community we can do this for the children. We all know as parents and carers that Special needs schools nationally are very much needed & there are waiting lists for each school due to there being so few (!) so let’s make this school as magical as possible for the current & future students of Kingsbury Academy!

Don’t forget the Parents, Teachers, Friends Association meeting is next week Thursday 3rd October at 2pm at the school 😊 This is a really good way of making friends and connections at Kingsbury Academy as all of our children have a SEN need at the school and the journey is one that we need peer support with.

If you can make it please email John the lead govenor on [email protected] it would be lovely to meet you all 🍂

🎉 The Best News Ever 🎉 The special needs playground for the children of Kingsbury Academy is going to be built! THIS EASTER HOLIDAY 🩷🌟 It’s all happening very quickly!! 🌟😍🤍

The playground fundraising journey of two years has really picked up pace, so much so, our fundraising total of £30,000 has been recently match funded by the trust 😁 which means the playground building has commenced this Easter holiday!!
We have around £10,000 to continue fundraising (so our journey isn’t completely over yet) to get the outdoor sitting area attached the playground complete - this will allow the children to also have lessons outdoors which is so exciting.
🩷 THANK YOU 🩷 to everyone that has donated, fundraised, cycled around Ireland, climbed mountains, ran for Kingsbury, boxed, sold cakes and attended our 4 community events (just a few activites!) you do not realise the impact and legacy this will leave not only on our children but for children with additional needs in the future also 🌟
