Launch of the St Swithun’s Legacy Society

It is a common misconception that St Swithun’s is a wealthy school. In reality, it does not have a large endowment and relies on fee income for its annual running costs.

It is only through a combination of the school’s financial resources and philanthropic support therefore, that it will be able to continue providing its girls with the top-class teaching facilities in which they can excel in traditional subjects and also keep up with the pace of innovation.

In addition, voluntary contributions are essential in enabling the school to offer life changing bursary places.

If you would like to help future generations of St Swithun’s girls, you may like to consider leaving a legacy to the school.

As a charitable legacy, it will be deducted from your estate before the amount of inheritance tax is calculated. If you decide you would like to leave a legacy, we would be very grateful if you would let us know.

You do not need to provide the details of the legacy if you do not wish to, nor is the pledge in any way binding. It is simply a statement of your present intention - and we would just like to say thank you.

All those who decide to make a legacy pledge, will be invited to join our new St Swithun’s Legacy Society and will be invited for an annual social gathering, which will provide an opportunity for guests to hear from the headmistress, Jane Gandee about the school’s progress.
