Support Denefield - Creating a Lasting Legacy
Together for Denefield
We are inviting our school community to come together to create something lasting — a legacy that reflects our students’ ambition and pride in Denefield.
Our Vision
Our vision is to become the very best school possible so that all students are able to lead rich, happy and purposeful lives. With your support, we can go further — ensuring today’s students, and generations to come, benefit from the best school experience.
Denefield 50
On 01 September 2026 Denefield will celebrate 50 years of providing excellent education to young people from Tilehurst and beyond. We are proud of our students and of the outstanding staff and facilities we have. To mark this milestone, we are launching the Denefield 50 Appeal, aiming to raise £50,000.
This will go a long way to help pay for the important extras and improvements that will give our students the opportunities and facilities they deserve.
Why do we need to fundraise?
Central Government provides funding for our core purpose of educating students in West Reading. This covers our everyday operating costs such as staff salaries, building infrastructure such as our air-conditioned classrooms, workshops and laboratories, and curriculum resources such as computers, textbooks and printing.
Unfortunately, it does not stretch as far as the important extras and improvements that students are asking for, such as more outdoor seating and covered areas, refurbishment of our sporting facilities, or further investment in our extra-curricular clubs and activities.
Your support will help to make the improvements that will enhance Denefield’s facilities and provide opportunities for our students that would not otherwise be possible.
How can parents and carers contribute?
We know that family circumstances differ, so we would like to create a culture of giving at a level that suits every individual.
One-off donations are always welcome, whereas regular payments help us plan ahead and leave a lasting impact on our school and our students, whether it is £5, £20, or £100 a month.
We value every donation. Even a small contribution of just a few pounds a month can make a real difference. Please donate at a level that feels right for you by clicking the link below.
Turn your £100 donation into £125 for Denefield
The School takes full advantage of HMRC’s Gift Aid scheme to enhance the value of donations from parents and carers. By donating through our CAF Donate page, we are able to gain an additional 25% from donors who are UK taxpayers at no additional cost to you. So please remember to tick the ‘Gift Aid’ box when you make your donation.
