Support Us
Thank you, your support is invaluable to us.
Blanche Nevile School is a creative, diverse and successful deaf school, where children love learning. We are ambitious for every child and want them to grow up to be the best they can possibly be.
Although it is unclear exactly how our school will be affected, we are likely to be facing significant cuts in real terms and we have no reserve funds to counteract the cuts. We must therefore be pro-active in raising funds for our school, to continue to make a positive and dramatic impact on the lives of our children.

Friends of Blanche Nevile
Friends of Blanche Nevile (FoBN) is a registered charity supporting the Deaf pupils at Blanche Nevile School. The aim of FoBN is to provide facilities, experiences and equipment for deaf children through fundraising and requesting contributions and grants that are not provided by the local authorities. If you are interested in joining the trustees of FoBN or you have some fundraising ideas please contact friendsofblanchenevile@gmail.com.
School Minibus Fundraiser
For most of our children, many experiences that are taken for granted by others are not always accessible for them. The school minibus is the only way many of our pupils can attend trips, as public transport can pose a significant communication barrier for deaf people. Additionally, the majority of our pupils rely on their Local Authority-provided transport to get home due to the distance they travel to attend our specialist school, so the minibus is essential to ensure they can attend trips further afield without the risk of returning late.
We also use the school minibus for pupils to travel between our primary and secondary sites for special events and celebrations as a school community.
The minibus is used several times each week for a range of trips and visits, including:
- Sports events, such as the London Youth Games and other competitions for young deaf people or those with disabilities
- Educational visits, including the Science Museum, Kew Gardens, art galleries, the Tower of London, and places of worship
- Residential trips, which are an important part of our children developing their independence and exploring new adventures and places away from home and school
- Weekly swimming lessons
- Experiences such as competitions and visits to meet and mix with other deaf peers and deaf role models, visits to the seaside, bowling, ice-skating, going to the local cinema or theatre trips.
Many of our pupils come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Without a school minibus, we would be unable to offer these enriching experiences as part of our pupils' education and cultural capital.
Any donations you can make to help us reach our £10,000 target will enable us to continue to enrich the lives of our deaf pupils. All donations will go towards the expected cost of £36,000 for our new minibus.
Thank you for your support, it is greatly appreciated!
