To ensure the present and the future of an institution which has, is and will be so important to us all in preparing pupils for a worthwhile role in society.
A gift can be made by cheque, credit card or direct debit (either monthly, quarterly or annually). Annual or monthly giving is an important part of fundraising as it provides the Foundation with a continuous flow of cash with which to complete projects or set down new ones for the future. It will be the aim of the Foundation to have a reserve fund on which to draw.
