We recently took part in a project with Funding Solutions for Education working with local businesses and organisations to create 3,000 branded folders for our trust.
We firstly wanted to thank all the businesses that chose to take part in this project and for supporting our trust, our schools, and our vision. Thank you to the following businesses:
We have just received the folders and wanted to share how amazing they look; the quality of print and design is fantastic. These folders are very versatile in that they can hold a number of booklets/documents and will be used for a number of different reasons. We cannot wait to start using these folders across PolyMAT, Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys and Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls. This has been a fantastic project, and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with FSE.
