Twiss Green Community Primary School

Mwanjati Village School Trust (MVST)

The Mwanjati Village School Trust was founded in 2007 and run by four trustees and our former headteacher, Miss McGann. The original aim of the charity was to raise funds to build a school in Mwanjati and to employ a small team of teachers. The school opened in September 2007 and another classroom was added in 2009.

The school in Mwanjati, which was established almost entirely with funding provided by everyone at Twiss Green, has gone from strength to strength. The government has now taken over the running of the school, the number of pupils on roll has increased to 506 and there are 9 teachers who are all paid by the Local Authority.

However, the school still faces challenges, including not having enough desks and chairs for all children, and relies on the support of the Twiss Green community. 

Every half term, we have a 'Mwanjati Monday' to raise much needed funds. Fundraising activities include things like non uniform days, cake sales or competitions.

If you would like to donate on a regular basis, or as a one-off donation, it would be most welcome. Please contact the school office for more details. Thank you.
