About the Rowan School

The Rowan School is a special needs primary school built in 1976. Based in Sheffield, they provide education for children with moderate and severe learning & communication difficulties.

Unfortunately, not all of the specialist equipment and technology needed to help educate children with learning difficulties can be funded by the LEA. Therefore, the Rowan School depend on fund raising events to help raise money to fund such purchases.

 This year, high up on the Rowan School's wish list were; drainage to the playing field, refurbishment of the food technology area, provision of a safe fenced sensory play area for infant children, and the provision of air conditioning/heating within the school building.
