Leweston’s Annual Fund
YOUR SUPPORT CAN ENSURE OUR SUCCESS
The award of bursaries is
embedded in Leweston’s
culture and is something in
which we passionately
believe. A bursary can open
up a world of opportunities to
a talented young person, by
enabling them to access a
Leweston education when
they otherwise would not
have the means. A large
capital investment is required
to generate support for even
one bursary and one of the
school’s main priorities is
therefore to focus on
increasing its annual Bursary
Fund. Any support you may
be able to give in helping us
to extend our Bursary Fund,
and to offer a Leweston
education to more children,
can and will change for the
better the lives of those
young people.
Leweston’s Bursary FundFund target £27,360
This would represent a year’s fees for one full boarder in years 9 - 13, or would assist
several pupils on partial bursaries.

Leweston recognises that to
continue to offer a first class
education for years to come
we must continue to enhance
and develop our facilities. Our
mission to offer a first class
education rooted in the
Catholic tradition is one that
we want to make available to
as many deserving families as
we can.
Although an education is
more than the building it
takes place in, the facilities we
make available to our pupils
are, of course, of major
importance. Leweston has
invested over £1 million in its
infrastructure over the last
four years. Projects include
the Senior School classroom
upgrade and new reception,
both completed in the
summer of 2010, the opening
of our enclosed swimming
pool in the summer of 2012
and this year has seen the
completion of our Sixth Form
Centre.
These investments in our
school campus translate into
tangible results. This year has
been one of exceptional
achievements across all areas
of school life, with Leweston
coming top of the DfE
performance tables for Dorset
and Somerset, 10% of our
Upper Sixth receiving
Oxbridge offers and three
International sportswomen
and six pupils from both the
Prep and Senior School being
selected to represent Great
Britain at the 2013 Biathle
Championships.
The musical and dramatic life
at Leweston remains a real
strength of the school and
this year audiences have been
entertained by a wonderful
array of exceptional
performances and concerts.
As always we must continue
to look to the future.
Leweston is a school that has
a unique educational offering
which we need to support
with the necessary
infrastructure. Our annual
fund invites you to make a
donation to support our
endeavours and any amount
received towards the
individual projects outlined in
this document would be
gratefully received.
Your support will ensure we
continue to inspire and
challenge our pupils,
enabling them to achieve to
the best of their ability and
go on to take their place in
the world with confidence.
Leweston Annual FundWhy we are asking for your support:
CHAPEL KNEELERS
£15 each
Fund target £5,000
St Antony’s chapel is at the
heart of Leweston School.
We are looking to replace 320
kneelers in a splendid array of
Leweston House colours to
aid the spiritual life of the
school and indeed of each
girl. No gift is too small; we
would welcome a donation
for a single kneeler as much as
a donation for several.
GRAND PIANO
Fund target £8,000
Music at Leweston is
exceptional and permeates all
aspects of school life. The
school’s tradition is strongly
orchestral and choral with
over half of the school
learning at least one of the
eighteen instruments on offer.
This year the music
department is looking to
replace the grand piano
which is used for all our
school concerts.
SOUND SYSTEM FOR THE
SCHOOL THEATRE
Fund target £4,000
For £4,000 the school will
purchase a new sound desk,
speakers and cabling which
will provide a state-of-the-art
sound system.
This new high quality sound
system will benefit the Prep
and Senior School
productions as well as our
GCSE and A level practical
exams. It will also improve the
school’s ability to host the
many other important events
that take place in the school
theatre during the year.

LEWESTON PREP’S OUTDOOR LEARNING RESOURCE
‘THE ENCHANTED WOOD’
Fund target £8,800
We believe that every young person should experience the world
beyond the classroom as an essential part of their learning and
personal development. Leweston Prep are investing in a new
outdoor learning resource in the woodland next to the Prep School
and as part of this exciting development we require the following
items:
A yurt (outdoor classroom) £8,000
A 24ft yurt will act as the outdoor
classroom in our ‘enchanted wood’ and
will provide opportunities for the
children to learn more about their
natural surroundings.
Four playhouses £200 each
These four playhouses will form part of
the nursery village and provide the
children in the Early Years Foundation
Stage with the opportunity to engage
in role play and develop their creative
learning.

used to provide
additional equipment
where needed, which will
enhance the training and
practice programmes for
our pupils.
