Raising Our Game

Our vision is to transform the sporting experience of our students with modern facilities. We need to greatly enhance our sports to provide our school and local community with a modern Multi Use Games Area and new LED lighting. This will allow quality sports to be played at school and benefit local clubs and community groups.

There are many benefits to fresh air and exercise, especially in maintaining our physical and mental health. We are all aware of the need for outside exercise space: a quality, modern sports facility is urgently needed.

£43 will fund 1 square metre

£86 will fund 2 square metres

£430 will fund 10 square metres

There is limited life left for the existing pitch - with your help we can build a future for sport at Colyton and for the local community.

Philanthropy at Colyton

Philanthropic support is part of our history, as the school was set up by the generous local people of Colyton in 1546. This tradition continues today and is a key part of our success. The school wants to ensure its future in education is world-leading. State-funded schools like Colyton Grammar School have restricted budgets, so through gifts to the school you are helping us to fulfil our aims and provide an outstanding environment in which our students can flourish.

The Annual Fund is a regular donation scheme to the school which runs each year, all year round. The more participants there, the more the fund builds and allows us to react quickly to departmental needs. To join the Annual Fund please donate here, you will be invited to a special thank you event at least biennially with the headteacher.

Over the last two years your support has provided over 200 hours of volunteer time and in excess of £160,000 of support for the school.
