Cliff Park Comets Receive Funding for International Competitive Racing

DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS, WE ARE STILL ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS.

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s the Cliff Park Comets!

We are thrilled to announce our latest round of funding has been awarded to a very ambitious and worthwhile team: The Cliff Park Comets. The talented student team from Cliff Park Academy have received our latest funding to help support their build and race initiative.

The project allows students to learn, build and race self-built electric cars (within certain specifications) to compete in an international race series alongside other schools involved in the initiative.

The contribution from the Trust will allow the team to have a competitive edge, which sits well with our ambition to help grow youth interest in sport in all its forms.

“This vital grant will go towards the development of the car for the coming season, allowing us to purchase vital new parts to make the car more competitive," said Nick Herridge.

You can follow their progress here and on social media. 

If you are part of an amazing team in our borough and would like to apply for up to £500 of funding, we are taking applications for awarding in September 2020.
