Schools reap the benefits from SELCHP 2014 - 14/05/2014
Deptford Park Primary School received £4,000 for a start-up scheme which will
provide a Breakfast Club for infant children. This enables parents to drop off their
children early and to work, as well as ensuring children from deprived families get a
full breakfast and are on time for classes.
Ken Johnson, Head of Deptford Park Primary School, said: "We are delighted to
receive this funding which means this important scheme can be set up, launched and
run at an affordable cost, as well as being fully subsidised for the most economically
disadvantaged families."
Sir Francis Drake Primary School, also in Deptford, applied for the funding of new
overhead projectors to replace the existing projectors which beam light directly into
the faces of teachers and pupils, posing a significant health and safety risk. The
grant of £3,850 will enable five new projectors to be purchased.
Sam Earl, ICT Co-ordinator at Sir Francis Drake Primary School, said: "We are
extremely thankful to SELCHP for their kind donation which will enable us to replace
the hazardous old projectors with modern, safe equipment that will protect the
eyesight of our pupils and staff."
News Release
Moatbridge School in Eltham is a small special needs school for boys with serious
emotional and behavioural difficulties. They have been awarded £4,000 to fund the
Arts Award in Music course, which will give these disadvantaged children a sense of
worth and help them achieve GCSE qualification.
Hana Vencovska, Music Teacher at Moatbridge School, said: "Arts and music acts
as a therapy to these children and allows them to express themselves. This grant
will provide us with much-needed funding for the Arts Award in Music course as
well as buying or replacing essential musical instruments, without which it would be
impossible to teach the children."
SELCHP (South East London Combined Heat & Power), which is operated and
jointly owned by the major environmental services organisation Veolia and French

Fund to local schools and community groups over the past 20 years.
Robbie Jameson, General Manager of SELCHP, said: "Every year the Fund supports
some very noteworthy causes, but it must be said that this year the projects were of
particular merit and we are very pleased to be able to award these schools for their
worthy schemes."
