Ways of Giving

We truly appreciate the incredible support our school receives from our community. Many of you contribute through financial donations, while others lend their time and expertise by delivering career talks, sponsoring events, or supporting our sports teams, for example. It’s inspiring to see how, when we come together, we can achieve our goals and fulfil our ambitions for the school.

Parents and carers are a vital part of our school community, and we warmly invite you to take an active role in your children's educational journey. We understand how important and rewarding it is to celebrate their achievements together, and these shared moments bring us all closer.

We are always eager to hear your thoughts on how you can contribute and get involved. Your engagement is invaluable to us, and together, we can create a nurturing environment where every child can flourish. Thank you for being an essential part of our community.

How to Give

An amazing 65% of parents make monthly or regular donations, at some level, which significantly impacts our ability to budget for activities and resources for your children. Thank you.

New parents to the school are invited to join the Parent Giving Scheme, but anyone can make donations directly to the school and/or specifically to support one of our current Fundraising Projects. In 2026/27, our priorities are:

• The School Fund (general)
• The Creative & Performing Arts Centre Fund (restricted)
• The Sport Foundation (restricted)

Regular Payments

From September 2026, the school will use the Give As You Live giving platform to manage all donations. This is a quick and simple way to make and manage donations regardless of whether they are one-off, monthly or intermittent. (If you have a current standing order, please continue to make it. It will remain unaffected).

Gift Aid and charity status

We are an exempt charity, with a pending application for CIO status with the Charity Commission. We are Gift Aid registered. This means we can recover tax via the Gift Aid scheme on donations made by UK taxpayers.

This increases the value of the gift to the Crypt by 25%, whilst offering the potential to reduce donors' costs through tax recovery. Where relevant, please always complete a Gift Aid form to enable these benefits.

Please get in touch if you are interested in:

• Company/employer donations (companies can offset charitable donations against their liability for Corporation Tax)
• Legacy giving (leaving something in your will)
• By direct transfer of assets, such as stocks, shares (exempt from Capital Gains Tax)
• If you are a charitable trust or foundation
• Naming & sponsorship opportunities
