What is the School Fund?

The Sheen Mount School Fund was set up in the summer of 2018 in response to the real-term decline in government funding received by schools. It aims to attract funds to ensure that, despite these financial constraints, the school is able to maintain its outstanding educational record and provide a welcoming environment which fosters both learning and each individual pupil's well-being.

The fund was re-launched in January 2025. 

The stated objects of the Charity are:

1.  To advance the education of the pupils of Sheen Mount Primary School by  providing or assisting in the provision of educational, recreational and sporting services equipment or facilities in augmentation of such services, equipment and facilities financed by the Local Education Authority, which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.
2.  To further such other charitable purposes as are charitable within the law of England and Wales as the trustees may determine. 

The Sheen Mount Primary School Trust is registered as a Charitable Trust with the Charities Commission (Reg. No. 1183219)
and  HMRC (Charity No. EW90583).

Trustees of the Fund

The current trustees of the Charity are Mr Tom Holmes (Headteacher), Ms Susan Boughton (Chair of the Board of Governors),
Mrs Maria O'Brien (Deputy Headteacher), Mrs Tilly Walters (Parent and former Chair of the Resources Committee of the Board of Governors) and Mrs Debbie Canner (School Business Manager). 

Payroll Giving 

Did you know that you can support Sheen Mount Primary School, a registered charity, directly through your salary – and it could cost you less than you think?

Many UK employers offer a Payroll Giving or Give As You Earn scheme. This allows employees to make regular donations to registered charities before tax is deducted from their salary – meaning the donation is taken from your gross pay, and you pay less income tax.

Why donate through Payroll Giving?

• Tax savings: For example, a £10 donation only costs you £8 as a basic rate taxpayer, or just £6 if you're on the higher rate.
• Reduces your taxable income: Donations are taken from your salary before tax is calculated – which can reduce the amount of income tax you pay overall.
• Regular, reliable support: Helps the school plan better with consistent funding.
• Simple and secure: Set up through your employer – no extra paperwork.

How to get started:

1. Check with your employer or HR team if they offer Payroll Giving or a similar workplace giving scheme.
2. Provide them with our charity details:
   • Charity Name: The Sheen Mount Primary School Trust
   • Registered Charity Number: 1183219

3. Choose the amount you’d like to donate each month – large or small, it all makes a difference.
4. Your donations will be automatically deducted from your salary and sent directly to the school.

By giving through your payroll, you not only support the ongoing enrichment and development of our school community, but you do so in a tax-efficient way that benefits everyone.

Alternatively, you can contribute via the donate button above.  Here, UK tax payers can opt to gift aid the donation so that the school receives the benefit of the tax paid by the individual, e.g. £90.00 donation becomes £112.50 with gift aid.
