Building a bright future together!
Beyond 150
Committing to the future of Glebe House School & Nursery.
We’re excited to launch ‘Beyond 150’, a brand new fundraising initiative committed to the longevity of Glebe House School & Nursery. ‘Beyond 150’ will consist of high value fundraising initiatives to enable improvements and breathe a fresh lease of life into the school and its facilities. ‘Beyond 150’ will work in harmony with the Friends of Glebe House School ensuring that all the needs of the Glebe House community are met.
The first project of ‘Beyond 150’ is the School Hall Renovation which will be dedicated to John & Bridget Crofts by naming it the Crofts Memorial Hall. Members of the Governing Body have identified the areas of need and gained quotations for the work. We would like this to be a pupil-led fundraising initiative and will be encouraging everyone to fundraise both inside and outside of school over the Spring and Summer Terms. There will be a wall in the renovated hall dedicated to the current families and pupils of Glebe House who made the renovation possible.
Project 1 : 150th Year Celebration and School Hall Renovation
Fundraising Target – £35,000
Fundraising Deadline – 2nd July 2025
Renovation to be carried out – 7th July-31st August 2025
Renovation Plans – We aim to give the hall a much-needed refresh. This space is used by the whole school throughout the school calendar and regularly hosts families for informal concerts, performances, parents’ evenings and other gatherings.
The hall was built in a modern style for its time, but we plan to give it a more traditional feel, reflecting the school’s heritage that we see in old pictures.
New flooring, wood panelling and new wooden chairs will create a traditional quality atmosphere fitting for the 150-year celebrations. A simple colour scheme and refurbishment of the walls and ceiling will revitalize the space. The wall decor will be rearranged to showcase Glebe’s rich history, including a new display documenting the school’s 150-year journey through photography.
Making our Future a Reality
Here’s a list of upcoming events and fundraising activities.
Rotary Swimarathon 2025
11am-5pm Saturday 8th February | Alive Oasis Hunstanton
In this exciting event, our dedicated GHS RotaKids team will swim as many lengths of the 25m pool as they can in just one hour. Each stroke taken and every length completed will not only showcase their determination, but also serve a greater purpose: raising funds for local charities and other good causes that make a real difference in our community.
The GHS RotaKids team believes that together, they can create a ripple effect of positive change. Their target is to raise £500 to support East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices and Glebe House Schools’ Beyond 150 projects.
Thank you for believing in their cause and for your generosity!
