Introduction

Science is central to our students’ learning at DRHS, inspiring curiosity and discovery. However, five of our science labs have not been updated since the last century! By refurbishing these spaces, we can create superb facilities that will enable our students to explore, collaborate and thrive.

The Vision

Our refurbished design will result in light and airy labs, with benches in a ‘pod style’ layout. Services will be provided in the centre of the pods, allowing each student easy access. The labs will also be equipped with perimeter worktop and storage facilities, ensuring that equipment and prepared items are available for practical sessions without impeding student worktop space, until required.

Funds Required

The total cost of the project is £353,000, or £70,600 per lab. We need your help to raise the funds to carry out this vital project.

LATEST NEWS

As a result of your extremely generous donations so far, and the fantastic grant we received from the Garfield Weston Foundation for £30,000, we have already been able to complete two of the labs over the summer 2025 holidays. This is an amazing boost to our science department facilities. We are working extremely hard to secure funds from other sources as well, but in the meantime please help us raise the remaining funds needed to complete the works to the final three labs.

Thank you in advance.
