The Corpus Christi School Charitable Trust (MIDAS) raises money though parental donations for projects aimed at enhancing the children's educational and extra curricular activities including the facilities available to them. We call it MIDAS for short, Money Invested Directly At School.
In the past this fund has provided;
- A fully fitted and equipped ICT suite
- Musical instruments for the school band
- Extension of teaching facilities and extended day facilities
- It has also provided support to families in need to ensure that children have equal access to educational and extra curricular experiences, such as music and school journeys
- Support for the Alumni project to provide ongoing support and networking for past pupils.
- More recently we have provided Chromebooks for remote learning during the pandemic.
- We have also supported families with emergency support.
- Green playgrounds to enhance the children's play and learning environments.

How else can you help...
We have teamed up with easyfundraising.org.uk to make fundraising easier. Did you know that every time you buy something online you could be raising money for MIDAS at no extra cost to you? That’s right - over 2400 well known retailers including Amazon, M&S, Boden, Waitrose, House of Fraser, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic and many more, will donate a percentage of what you spend to our MIDAS Trust when you shop with them, via fundraising website easyfundraising.org.uk It’s like nectar but instead of earning points, each purchase generates a donation.
