Help us to transform sports at More House School

At More House School, sport is more than just physical activity – it builds confidence, teamwork and a sense of belonging. We need your help to transform our sports facilities and ensure every pupil has the opportunity to excel and thrive, both on and off the field. The new sports facilities will include a pavilion and 3G Artificial Grass Pitch to provide year-round access empowering every pupil to develop essential skills and a lifelong passion for sport.

If you would like to donate or learn more about the appeal, please get in touch with our Development office on 01252 792303 or email development@morehouseschool.co.uk

 

Why sport matters

For every pupil at More House, sport is a gateway to personal growth. It enhances cognitive function, boosts self-confidence, reduces anxiety, builds social connections, and strengthens focus. These benefits extend far beyond the playing field, transforming lives both in and out of the classroom.

“When I started at More House in Year 5 the only thing I was looking forward to was sport. Sport gives you a foundation to build upon and helps with learning and building your confidence – you can bring that to anything you do.”

 

Jacob, More House School Pupil in Year 11

 

 

MORE THAN A PITCH – a transformational need

Our current outdoor facilities limit our ability to maximise the benefits of sport, especially during poor weather. Upgrading our facilities will:

• Provide year-round access with a new all-weather 3G pitch, ensuring uninterrupted play.
• Increase the number of sports teams by 42% by offering additional playing space.
• Enhance safeguarding with modern and secure changing rooms.
• Enable home fixtures for hockey and other sports, ensuring a full competitive schedule.
• Support community engagement, providing local clubs with access to the facilities.

 

Be part of the transformation

This campaign is about more than a pitch — it’s about building a lasting legacy that benefits generations of pupils. We need the support of our whole school community to help us raise £2M and transform the sporting experiences at More House School. Every contribution matters and brings us closer to creating a space where confidence, resilience, and teamwork come together.

With naming opportunities for significant gifts, and the ability to increase your donation’s impact through Gift Aid, now is the time to make a meaningful difference. For higher-rate taxpayers, Gift Aid also reduces your tax bill.

Your support is vital. To contribute, discuss ways you can help or learn more please contact our Development Office on 01252 792303 or development@morehouseschool.co.uk

 

Together, we are building ‘More than a pitch’—
we are creating a place for all pupils to play, belong, and grow.
