With your help we can continue to offer places to children of all abilities in our province.

Good Child Foundation

The Good Child Foundation aims:-

  • To educate our students to the best standard possible to prepare them for university and life.

  • To provide a place for all children with Downs Syndrome in our catchment area to start school with us at 3 years of age, and stay with us until they are 18. We want to get the children into education and ensure they complete their school career.

Pupils in a classroom

Without the help of The Good Child Foundation a family with a child who has Downs Syndrome in our area would face two choices:-

  • Keep their child at home. This is a tremendous financial burden on a poverty stricken family where everyone in the family is expected to work to keep the family going.

  • The child is sent away from the family to a home for mentally handicapped children.

All these children need is the chance to go to a mainstream school and use the stimulation of the school environment to develop and thrive.
