Performing Arts Centre Appeal

BREAKING NEWS!

Oswestry School has launched an exciting, major fundraising appeal to create a bespoke Performing Arts Centre at our Senior School campus.

The £2.4million project will create the long-awaited performance space that our school community needs to showcase the talent of our pupils. And this thrilling project is off to a flying start thanks in part to an initial donation of £500,000.

The project will sympathetically rennovate the War Memorial Theatre to provide a tiered seating theatre with hi-tec lights and acoustics, a two-storey extension for performing arts studios, and a wrap-around link corridor with space for a foyer and ticket office, - ideal for hosting social events and exhibitions.

Headmaster Peter Middleton said: "As a major £2.4 million capital project, this will be the most significant facility investment in the school's history, but will be entirely funded through fundraising rather than through fee income. I am pleased to report that we have already raised over half of the funds already, which includes the hugely generous donation of £500,000 from a lead donor. Various fundraising events through the course of the next 18 months - alongside further donor contributions - will seek to raise the remaining costs."

The school will kick-start the fundraising events programme with a Grand Raffle and Auction which will take place Founder's Day, September 14. Raffle and auction prizes are being sought, so please get in touch if you are able to support our fundraising journey with a prize.

There will be more exciting fundraising events to follow, so please keep up to date with our fundraising campaign via this page.
