The Canonbury School Foundation was set up in 1995 to help enrich the lives of Canonbury Primary School students and provide equipment and activities additional to what the schools budget would normally cover.
- We fund a broad range of projects and aim to ensure that no child misses out on opportunities to grow and flourish during their time at Canonbury.
- We raise money by running fundraising events, seeking contributions from parents and local businesses, and applying for grant funding.
The Foundation has funded or helped fund projects such as
- Fantastic new Canonbury village playground
- Extra school trips including residentials, see below for more information
- Extra music provision exclusive to Canonbury including provision and maintenance of a brass instrument for every child in years 5 and 6, and a recorder for every child in years 3 and 4.
- Hiring the Union Chapel for the bi-annual school concerts
- New percussion instruments across the school
- Trips to the London Symphony Orchestra
