This year our goal is to raise £20,000 from Run Jericho to invest in air conditioning units to keep kids and teachers cool for summer learning, refresh the outdoor sporting equipment and finally add some much-needed digital screens in classrooms.

It's an aggressive fundraising goal to meet! Wish us luck!

This year Run Jericho 2025 raised £24,157.99! This is well over the £15,000 pledged by the PTA for investing in the new multi-use sports area. Due to smashing through our goal, we will acknowledge all this year’s sponsors on a plaque by the new sports area, which we hope to build sometime in 2026 or 2027.

This AI generated image depicts what such a multi-use sports area might look like. The plan is for the real sports area to support both football and basketball with football goals and basketball hoops at each end.

The goal was to raise £15,000 with £5,000 set aside towards new art murals and the remainder to be put toward the long-term multi-use sports area. We’re happy to share that we raised £16,492.51 at Run Jericho 2024, thank you to all who made it possible!

The new art murals, which have just been completed, give our school that Jericho vibrancy that we all know so well. In addition, the school’s new vision is perfectly captured with bold, beautiful colours:

"They will soar on wings like eagles"

"Adventurous, Wise, Encouraging... AWEsome!"

This area is located around the back of the school used to house an unused bike shed. We now have a water pulley play system, outdoor classroom, sand pit and mud kitchen! 

Other spending plans were for 3 large new picnic tables which were installed in July 2024 (see one of these tables in action below). At Run Jericho 2023 we smashed through our £15,000 goal with a total of £21,491.14 raised. As a thank you, we’ll be erecting a plaque in the Forest School area to thank all sponsors.
