Our rural PTFA proudly supports Bowland High, bringing together parents, teachers and friends of the school to strengthen our small but vibrant community. Based in the heart of the countryside, we work to raise funds, create opportunities and organise inclusive events that enrich student life beyond the classroom. From supporting educational resources to enhancing extracurricular experiences, we’re committed to helping every young person, their famileis and our wider community, thrive through engagement with our school.
Living in a rural area has many benefits — but access to sport and recreation can be limited. Many families must travel significant distances to reach leisure centres or organised activities.
By improving our facilities at Bowland High, we will:
-
Increase physical activity for young people
-
Support mental health and wellbeing
-
Provide inclusive sport opportunities regardless of income
-
Reduce travel barriers for rural families
-
Create a shared space for the whole community
Our facilities are already used by local football teams, youth groups and fitness clubs — but without investment, we risk losing this valuable provision.
Who will benefit
-
600+ Bowland High students
-
Local primary schools for festivals and tournaments
-
Grassroots sports clubs
-
Community fitness groups
-
Families across the Ribble Valley
In rural communities, school facilities often are the community facilities. Your support helps secure this vital local asset for years to come.
The long-term impact
This is not a short-term fix. It is an investment in:
-
Sustainable community sport
-
Stronger local connections
-
Healthier, more active young people
-
A thriving rural hub
Improved facilities will allow us to increase lettings income, helping to maintain and reinvest in the site long-term.
