Help us fund Sun Sails to shade and protect Sydenham School’s outdoor spaces

Raising for Sydenham School PTA

With your generous support Sydenham PTA are fundraising £5,000 to install permanent sun sails in key outdoor areas of Sydenham School, giving students essential sun (and rain!)  protection during break, lunchtime, and for other outdoor activities year round.

Sydenham School currently has very limited shaded areas, leaving students exposed to strong sun and high temperatures during the summer months, and with no rain cover during adverse weather.

Sun sails will:

  • Provide essential UV/ rain protection for students
  • Create cooler, more comfortable areas for socialising and outdoor learning
  • Offer long‑term benefits for the whole school community

The shade structures are a significant investment. While the school and PTA have already committed funds, we still aiming to raise an additional £5,000 to complete the project.

We’re asking our generous parent and carer community to help us close this gap.

As a registered charity we can also benefit from any matched giving or workplace giving programme that your employer may run to match your donations, at no extra cost to you. 

Every contribution — large or small — brings us closer to providing safe, shaded outdoor spaces that will benefit students for many years to come. 

THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed so far, we are extremely grateful for all of your generous donations which will go on to make a big difference.
