Langley Prep School kicks off ‘100 years of education at Taverham Hall’ celebrations and joins forces with the British Heart Foundation. 2021 signifies one of the biggest milestones for both Langley Prep School and the British Heart Foundation. The school is entering its centenary year and will officially reach its 100th year in education in September 2021, while the BHF will be marking their 60th birthday this year. What better time to join forces. Prep School Headmaster, Mike Crossley comments: “As you would anticipate, huge strides have been made over the years to enhance the pupils’ education. Importantly, the focus has always been firmly placed on the individual and their wellbeing and remains so today. Excitingly, in 2020 a £1.7 million refurbishment of the hall and classroom provision was completed by the school. Having regularly raised funds for the BHF, and worked together on a number of fronts, it felt very fitting to join forces at such a special time. We look forward to rolling out our exciting ‘Calendar of Events’ which has been created to mark this very special occasion.” During the past 100 years, the Prep School, situated at the beautiful 70 acre Taverham Hall woodland site, has, and continues to provide, a warm and welcoming environment. Academic achievements flourish alongside a love of the outdoors. The fabulous Forest School programme encourages young and curious minds to explore natural habitats on a daily basis. Today, the School is thriving with more than 300 pupils. Since being founded in 1961, the BHF has become the UK’s largest independent funder of heart research. Their research has helped saved millions of lives across the world. However, heart and circulatory disease still affects 7.6M people in the UK. Jennifer Townsend, Fundraising Manager for the BHF said: “We are absolutely delighted to partner with Langley Prep School to mark our milestone birthdays in a variety of special ways. The last year has been incredibly tough for charities. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our fundraising means that our investment in new life-saving research is likely to halve this year. “That’s why the support from everyone involved with Langley Prep School and their alumni is so important. Every pound we receive through this partnership is money we can use to support the scientists who are working to discover new ways to treat, prevent and cure heart and circulatory conditions.” Langley Prep School and the BHF are calling on as many alumni and supporters as possible and invite everyone to join in with the celebratory activities.
