- Extending teaching of ICT by equipping more classroom with computers
Projects we have supported:
- Contributed one third of the funds the school was required to raise for its successful Specialist Sports College status
- Refurbished the Resource Centre
- Equipping the new teaching classrooms
- Refurbished the Hall, stage and sound and lighting system , benefiting parents’ meetings, assemblies and drama and music events
- Supported the majority of ‘after school’ clubs
- Equipped the Duke of Edinburgh scheme with more tents and cooking equipment
How You Can Help
New Ideas
We are always looking for parents and students to offer new ideas for fundraising or social events. If you have any suggestions we would love to hear from you. Either drop a note into the school office addressed to The Therfield School Trust or send an email to trust@therfield.surrey.sch.uk
By Running an Event or Helping Out at an Event
Perhaps you are able to pledge some of your time by volunteering to either run an event or to help out at an event. If so then please get in touch by either emailing us at trust@therfield.surrey.sch.uk or drop a note into the school office marked for the attention of the Therfield School Trust.
Perhaps you would like to be added to our distribution list and we will email you when we need assistance at an event. If you can help – then you simply reply to the email. If you cannot, then please just delete the note. Hopefully you will be able to assist next time around.
By Making a Donation
We would like all parents and carers to consider making a donation directly to the Therfield School Trust either yearly, termly or monthly. Many of our parents donate £10 a term to the Therfield School Trust either by direct debit or by cheque.
If you are a tax payer, by making a donation and completing one of our Gift Aid Declaration forms the Therfield School Trust will be able to reclaim the tax on your donation, which equates to 28% extra on top of what you give.
By Joining our Lucky Numbers Club
You can buy an entry into the Therfield School Trust Lucky Numbers Club for the chance to win a monthly cash sum! The more tokens we sell, the bigger the prizes are and the more money we raise for the school.

Lucky Numbers Club
What is the Therfield Lucky Numbers Club?
The Therfield Lucky Numbers Club is a scheme run by the Therfield School Trust to raise funds for the benefit of all pupils at Therfield School.
How do I join?
Send an email to lnclub@therfield.surrey.sch.uk for an application form you can send directly to your bank, or complete the application form on the website and send to the Therfield School Office in an envelope marked for the attention of the Therfield Lucky Numbers Club.
How much do I pay?
The annual subscription is a minimum of £12 representing 12 monthly payments of £1. There is no maximum.
How do I pay?
By standing order (every month, six months or year) or by cheque (annually).
How does it work?
The numbers of all paid up members are entered into a monthly draw for three cash prizes. If you pay, for example, £1 a month you have one entry in each monthly draw. If you pay £3 a month you have 3 entries etc. In addition to the monthly draw there is a bonus prize draw every December of £200.
How much can I win?
30% of membership money is paid out in prizes each month, so the more members there are, the bigger the prize.
• First prize is 50% of the prize money
• Second prize is 30% of the prize money
• Third prize is 20% of the prize money
For example - if we have 200 members paying an average of £4 a month, the prizes would be £120, £72 and £48 and £560 would be raised for the school. In addition, each December there is a bonus draw for a £200 prize.
