Balcarras is turning 40!
Our 40th Anniversary Celebrations taking place on 25th-26th March 2026.
This is a powerful opportunity for our entire community including current and former parents, staff, alumni and friends to come together and make a lasting impact on the lives of our pupils while celebrating the School and what we’ve achieved so far.
We have set a bold target of trying to reach £40k in 2 days - £40k for 40 years!
When OFSTED visited last year, they judged Balcarras to be “outstanding” in all areas. We constantly strive to provide all of our pupils with the best education and opportunities, but in real terms our funding continues to fall year on year.
We’re asking our entire community to give at a level that’s meaningful to them, to make a difference in the following areas:
- Developing our outside space to enhance the wellbeing of all pupils.

- Resourcing our school to ensure that all pupils have access to the very best facilities and technologies for learning.

Yours sincerely,
