School facilities for hire can benefit the community and boost education

Providing additional income: especially during this difficult economic period, additional income from community lettings can be put to use and support schools in many ways, including:

• Funding field trips
• Purchasing and/or updating new equipment & teaching materials 
• Employing new staff
• Funding maintenance & repairs
• Upgrading IT & IT suites
• Upgrading existing & installing new facilities such as a MUGA pitch or resource hall

Enhancing the academic experience: the above tends to have an invariably positive experience on pupil learning; attending field trips, for example, providing pupils with real world experience of the subjects they’re learning in the classroom whilst also strengthening their social & communication skills, increasing their confidence & self esteem, and gain a wider world perspective, improving morale and fostering a thrilling and exciting learning environment. 

Supporting after school and holiday clubs: offering school facilities for hire provides after school clubs and holiday camps with an easily accessible, well-equipped and affordable venue from which to conduct their activities; with after school clubs and holiday camps such as gymnastics or football club bolstering children & young peoples’ physical and emotional wellbeing – encouraging regular exercise, increasing confidence, teaching collaborative working and encouraging attendees to make new friends. 

Aiding the local church and charitable organisations: by providing local church groups and/or charitable organisations with affordable event venue hire, school facilities for hire can directly support these local organisations to reach new people, as well as build new relationships within the local community and with businesses. 

Providing safe, affordable & accessible venues to family events: offering school facilities for hire – such as main halls or sports halls – to families for birthday parties or large celebrations provides safe, affordable and accessible venues for families to celebrate their most important moments; creating lasting memories that’ll mean the world, not cost the earth. 

In short, offering your school facilities for hire can benefit your school, your pupils and the community, and a wonderful way to give back to your staff & pupils, and others in the area.
