Shine a Light

Our ‘Shine a Light’ club members have helped to mobilise over 400 names on our Map of Stars at the entrance of our new, state-of-the-art performance space.

This week we closed the Shine a Light Appeal, finalising the names that will appear on our Waterlow Hall Map of Stars. At their final lunchtime session, the girls in our Shine a Light Club – who have been instrumental in rallying support – were treated to a sneak preview of the hall this week, as the oak flooring was laid and the structure for the retractable seats was being installed.

Over the course of the past year, this group of girls has helped to raise over £61,000 towards the fundraising campaign.  415 names and initials will be emblazoned at the entrance of the new hall – names of current and former pupils, staff, Maple the Dog, and even a couple of cats! The Shine a Light Appeal has ensured that everyone who wanted to take part could get involved – whether donating or by entering numerous competitions, events and initiatives.

As we reach the final stages of the project, we have less than £100,000 left to raise of our £3 million target.  It is not too late to make your contribution and become part of our Waterlow Hall Community. To have your donation recognised with a plaque on one of our retractable seats, please join the campaign.
