--- title: "BREAKING NEWS" url: "https://garstangcommunityacademy.com/news/2017-11-13-breaking-news" school: "Garstang Community Academy" --- # BREAKING NEWS ![Image of BREAKING NEWS](https://files.schudio.com/garstang-community-academy-2/images/news/Pitch_In_2.jpg) 13 November 2017 I am delighted to tell you that Sport England have confirmed that they will contribute £100,000 towards our new floodlit all weather pitch – this is fantastic news and means we are now in a position to go ahead and start making arrangements to start building work early in the new year!! However, as a school, we are still someway short (about £50,000) of the target we ourselves need to raise towards this £500,000 project and these are the possible ways you could help us: - ***Please*** log in to and cast your 10 votes for our project – if we get enough votes, we are in with a very good chance of receiving £25,000 from Aviva’s Community Fund due to the special community nature of this project. **Last day to vote is Monday 20th November.** - If you would like to make a personal donation or, if you own a business, would like to make a corporate donation, please get in touch with Tracey Jones, Assistant Business Manager, who is very successfully running this project - - Ask friends and family to do the same. Many thanks for your unwavering support in this – this will be a very special facility for the school and for the community as a whole. ***Alasdair Ashcroft,* Principal** [ Halloween Spooky Story Competition](https://garstangcommunityacademy.com/news/2017-10-27-halloween-spooky-story-competition) [Achievement Evening ](https://garstangcommunityacademy.com/news/2017-11-15-achievement-evening) ### Garstang Community Academy Garstang Road Bowgreave Garstang PR3 1YE 01995 603226 ### Useful Links - [Student Email (Gmail)](https://www.gmail.com) - [Google Classroom](https://classroom.google.com/) - [Facilities Hire](https://northwestschoolhire.co.uk/) - [Privacy Statement](https://garstangcommunityacademy.com/old-website-pages/privacy-statements) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582638844533&locale=en_GB) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/garstangcommunityacademy2024/?hl=en) ### Translation © Copyright 2016–2026 Garstang Community Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://garstangcommunityacademy.com/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
