Reasons to Support:
Enhanced Learning Environment: Upgrading pool facilities will create a more conducive environment for learning. Providing access to swimming lessons ensures that students are equipped with the necessary water safety knowledge, reducing the risk of accidents and instilling confidence in and around water.
Promote Wellbeing: Offering swimming opportunities throughout our co-curricular programme promotes the physical and mental wellbeing of our students. Swimming is not only an excellent form of exercise but also a therapeutic activity that can alleviate stress and improve overall health.
Community Impact: Your donation will have a ripple effect, positively impacting not only our students but also the broader community. Our pool serves as a valuable resource for 24 primary schools, including two special schools, facilitating curriculum swimming lessons for approximately 500 students. Additionally, 904 children and adults benefit from private lessons, fostering a culture of inclusivity and accessibility.
Preserving Heritage: The Duke of York's Royal Military School has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1803, with our pool being built in 1909. Your support will help preserve this heritage for years to come.
Distinguishing Factor: In an educational landscape where many schools have closed their pools due to financial constraints, our swimming pool serves as a unique marketing tool. It sets us apart from other institutions and demonstrates our commitment to providing comprehensive educational experiences for our students.
