Space is something which is very limited at Coulsdon C of E Primary and Mrs Mitchell, like all of us, was keen to find additional space to help further the children’s education. We would like to build an additional learning space (which would be fully heated and able to be used all the year round) in the playground situated next to the PE shed. 

The building will be multipurpose and will enable small group teaching to be carried out.  This is our way of continuing and building on Mrs Mitchell’s legacy and reflects her passion for inclusion and supporting a wide range of special educational needs provision such as sensory breaks, dyslexia tutoring and counselling. 

We are all very excited by the opportunities this development will bring to all pupils in the school currently and in the future.   

We are keen this building is built to a high standard and also large enough for small groups to be supported in it.

The plans for the building are being finalised and we will soon add them to this page so you can all see how this exciting building will help the children in our school in the years to come.

PLANS AND DESIGN TO BE ADDED

From the quotations we have received so far we are looking to raise £45,000. 

The Butterfly Project committee are delighted to share with you that we have raised £35,000 towards the new target of £45,000 to fund the building of an additional learning space in the playground situated next to the PE shed. We have an updated target to allow for additional building and fit out costs. We are looking at raising the rest of the money needed during this academic year.  We have started applications towards grants we can apply for and The Friends Committee is kindly working alongside the school to plan events.

If you are a parent or carer 

The recent Butterfly Ball raised a staggering £7,000 towards this target.  A write up of the event can be found here.
