Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to give?

Different people like to give in different ways, that is why we offer many ways in which you can help, ranging from a one off gift to regular donations or attendance at events. Any donation is welcome as it all helps to make a difference. Some people feel they are unable to support us during their life time and so they make a pledge in their will whilst others give us the gift of time as volunteers.

What is the purpose of the Foundation?

The Foundation was set up to co-ordinate the school’s fundraising initiatives and as a registered charity enables us to claim back gift aid on donations thus maximising any gift from a UK tax payer.

Why do we need to fundraise?

We are constantly looking to the future in order to provide the best quality of education and facilities for pupils and to be able to meet our aim of providing excellence without elitism by a developing a robust bursary programme.
