The Certificate in School Fundraising

Testimonials from Secondary School Staff

Teachers and Classroom Assistants

I have enjoyed undertaking the course and feel that I have developed a number of important skills which I will be able to use when undertaking future fundraising. I feel more confident about fundraising issues and have built up a bank of resources which I will be able to use.

Science Teacher, High School

The course was very clear, well written and thought provoking with good assessments to make you think. I now have far more confidence to attempt fundraising bids and have good resources in where to search for money. A really enjoyable and supportive course. Thank you!

Librarian, Community School

Bursars and Business Managers

The resources were all well written, easy to understand and very useful. The links worked and again, were useful!! I [now] plan to set up a school fund raising committee within the next term and from that to write to fundraising strategy to give clearer vision on fundraising activities.

Claire Stephenson, Finance Manager, Crawshaw Schoo, Leeds

From April the Headteacher has given me the role of School Fundraiser along with my existing role as Finance Officer. This course has given me the confidence and understanding to embark on this new venture.

Claire Morris, Finance Officer, Duffryn High School

This course came along just at the right time for me. The learning has been really valuable and wholly relevant. It has provided me with the motivation and vigour to tackle the whole issue of funding in my school. The Head is struggling to hold me back on projects that I have got in mind!

Fundraiser, Community School

This course was great because I could manage it without my work suffering. The website links and the checklist for writing applications will be what I found the most useful and I will be using these in the future.

Fundraising Co-ordinator, Community School

A most useful course and a first experience of on line learning for me. Our past success at fundraising has illustrated some of the good practice in the course, but we have lots to improve on in organization, presentation and planning areas.

Finance Assistant, Community School

I really enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone in the same job as it is a real eye opener.

Bursar, High School

The course has taught me many new skills regarding fund raising. I especially enjoyed learning on-line and find it stimulating and easy to access.

School Business Manager, Community College

Armed with the knowledge from this course I plan to sit down with the Principal and discuss the need to form a fundraising committee and to look forward to projects that funding needs to be raised for and devise a strategy.

School Business Manager, Technology College

I’ve become passionate about fundraising and can’t wait to get started. The course has provided me with excellent knowledge and skills to tackle the task ahead. I dread to think what my bids may have been like if I hadn’t signed up for it!

Fundraising Manager, CofE School

Parents, Governors, and PTA Members

I have already set up a fundraising committee and I will pursue applications brought to my interest through this course. Thank you.

Parent and School Governor, Specialist Science School

Head, Deputy and Departmental Head Teachers

I was impressed by the nature of the resources, the ease of use on the website and the tutor's supportive comments.

Elaine Carlile-Caddy, Head of Creative Arts Faculty, Llanishen High School, Rhondda Cynon Taff

I was keeping an eye on things and participating when I had time available. This way of working suited me and I completed all the exercises. Thank you very much for a very informative and valuable learning resource.

Head of Technology College

The organisation and responsibility for fundraising in our school will now be much more streamlined with a more collegiate approach rather than the ad hoc approach currently in use.
