Churcher’s College (Churcher’s) is an English co-educational independent, fee-paying school. The senior school (ages 11–18) is in the market town of Petersfield, Hampshire with the junior school (ages 5–11) in nearby Liphook. They now also have a nursery for pre-school children, nestled in the grounds of the junior school.
‘The Richard Churcher Foundation’ was set up to help those pupils who would thrive at Churcher’s, but whose families need some financial support. Through bursaries, Churcher’s helps more children to achieve their potential. The WisePay Portal provides a safe and secure means for benefactors to make a donation.
They primarily hire out their swimming pool which is very expensive to run and maintain. They also hire out classrooms after school and in the holidays, and are currently looking to introduce summer camps too. Churcher’s are now intelligently managing space so that maximum usage and revenue can be achieved.
Interest in a trip can be registered online, where no payment is taken, then the staff can ascertain whether a trip will be viable or not. WisePay offers detailed reporting on how many people have booked and who has or hasn’t paid, so they can manage the finances more effectively.
Churcher’s can sell school uniform via the WisePay e-commerce portal. It is a convenient, time-saving service for parents and also helps staff monitor stock control. In addition, the online shop sells merchandise such as ties, mugs, prints, paperweights and cufflinks.
