Heartfelt gratitude for attending the 1876 Fund Event and Pre-Drinks for School Musical: Made in Dagenham

Our OLs were recently invited to an exclusive event to introduce John Lyon's 1876 Fund to new parents and guardians and Pre-Drinks for School Musical: Made in Dagenham. They welcomed hearing about the Fund's purpose and aims and were pleased that feedback was positive. It was the perfect opportunity to highlight once again to the rest of the School community the value and importance of this Fund in enhancing the learning provision and environment for current and future generations. 

The Fund supports projects, equipment and facilities that go beyond the School's standard curriculum and departmental budgets, leaving a positive impact on current and future pupils' educational journeys. 

To date, thanks to the Fund, our pupils: 

• Have a new 1876 Reading Room that provides extended research and learning resources. 
•  Take part in the national VEX Robotics Programme, which has involved an appearance in a world championship VEX Event in Texas. 
• Are involved in the Greenpower Race Car initiative, giving them the chance to learn all about car design and racing. 
• Are benefitting from new fitness equipment, supporting their health and mental wellbeing as part of the Healthy Lifestyle Programme. 

After a wonderful start to the evening, guests made their way up to Ryan Theatre at Harrow School to enjoy John Lyon School’s musical production. 

The company of our OLs is always appreciated and we are grateful for the great conversations, memories and laughter.
