After your family and friends have been taken care of, a legacy is an opportunity to give your support to causes you care about. There can also be tax benefits to leaving a legacy. We have more information about legacies which you can view here, and about making amendments to your existing will here.
Please contact Becky Nicholson for more information.
Unrestricted financial donations to our school are preferred as it means we can allocate resources to the areas of greatest need. However, we recognise that donating gifts in kind and financial gifts for special projects can be tremendously rewarding for individuals and businesses. We work with the relevant members of staff and pupils to help you identify the best possible gift. In the past, we have received generous gifts for music, language, science or sports projects.
Please do contact us if you would like to give in this way.
Keeping St Peter’s demographically diverse is very important and the Keys for Life Bursary campaign will certainly help protect that ethos. We feel it is important to offer something unique back, given the extraordinary life skills, experiences and opportunities it has provided our boys.
Our son has flourished in the St Peter's environment. He has grown in confidence and is developing a strong sense of belonging.
The breadth of the curriculum, the facilities, and the outcomes those create have given my daughter great confidence. The Bursary Award to St Peter’s has helped her to achieve her best and we are very grateful for it.
