Here at Ernesford Grange Community Academy we strive to ensure that students are able to leave school well prepared for modern society. This includes developing their independence and an understanding of how to dress and act in a professional manner. We have high expectations of our students’ appearance, not only because we believe it is right, but because research shows that high expectations result in better academic outcomes.

Parents or guardians of children attending school in Coventry, who find themselves in need of help, may apply to school for an application form for assistance from the Children’s Boot Fund.The completed form is returned to the Head Teacher to endorse, and then sent to the Charity secretary who will place it before the committee for consideration. There are four allocations yearly. Successful candidates are issued with a voucher and instructions and in exchange for the voucher will receive good quality properly fitted shoes suitable for school. Although footwear must be suitable for school, the choice is the recipients, so that the child will be happy with their new shoes.
Who qualifies?
The basic qualifications are that the child who requires new school shoes is of school age, and a regular attendee at a Coventry school. We try to help as many families as possible therefore normally only one child per family is granted a voucher within a twelve month period, but we can make exceptions for families in difficult circumstances. Twins are usually each given shoes. School leavers may be granted shoes for attending interviews. Applications from social Care, Homes and Institutions are also considered.
