Inclusion Fund
Since 2019 Knox Academy has had an Inclusion Fund in order to ensure that finances are not a barrier to any young person’s education and the opportunities it provides.
The letter launching the Inclusion (Equity) Fund was issued to our community in January 2019.
The Inclusion fund will aim to make the following more financially viable for pupils & parents/carers:
- Extra-curricular activities costs
- Activities Week day trips
- Activities Week residential trips
- Additional dress code costs
However, we welcome request for support with anything that parents/carers deem to be important in the support of a young person accessing their education in full.
If you would like to apply for support please complete our Inclusion Fund Form.
Please also look below for further support from Knox Academy’s Essentials Hub.
Easy Fundraising
As part of our efforts to bolster the Inclusion Fund we use Easy Fundraising, this is a donation made to the school from a variety of different companies thanks to the fact you shop with them.
We receive a cheque quarterly in the post with the fund thanks to anyone who has signed up to support us through Easy Fundraising. All you need to do is sign up using the links below.

Any support you could give via the use of Easy Fundraising would be hugely appreciated.
The Essentials Hub
At Knox Academy we take the support of our young people and their families very seriously, that is why we have taken the decision to set up the Knox Academy Essentials Hub.
This hub will provide families access to items such as school uniform, sports wear, revision books, leavers dance outfits, breakfast food and personal hygiene products at no cost.
If you would like to apply to be supported by our Essentials Hub Request Form, all relevant details are contained within the form.
