Set your name in stone at Hymers College

The first of our pavers have now been laid at the front of Hymers College and we are delighted to share the progress pictures so far

This year, the Development Office launched a new fundraising initiative, 'Sponsor a Stone'.  For every paver sponsored, a donation will be given to The John Hymers' Bursary Fund, which helps us to stay true to our founder, John Hymers' mission 'to educate every social rank of life'.

The pavers are laid on the West Drive walkway, in front of the main school entrance.  This gives you an opportunity to be at the heart of Hymers' heritage and you will be supporting the fundraising efforts to increase our bursary provision at Hymers College.  You can sponsor a paver for £250, and we can claim gift aid, where applicable.

Perhaps you are a former student, parent or staff, or would like to purchase one In Memoriam.  Should you wish to purchase a paver or for any questions to discuss wording, please get in touch with Emily Pennack, Development Manager, on 01482 347492 or via epennack@hymers.org,  Stones will be laid on a quarterly basis across the year to allow for lead and delivery times.  Thank you for your support with this fundraising initiative led by the Development Office at Hymers College.
