How You Can Help
Supporting the School – How you can make a difference!
The Albyn 150 Appeal advances the vision that no able child should ever be turned away purely on financial grounds. Every donation, large or small, brings this vision nearer fruition.
Straightforward, immediate payment options are as follows:
- Option 1- A one-off contribution, large or small, by cheque or bank transfer. Simply print off and complete the downloadable Gift Form (below) and send it, marked CONFIDENTIAL, with your cheque (if applicable), to the Development Office at the School.

- Option 2 – Standing Order. Please refer to the downloadable Gift Form, which provides the detail necessary to set up the standing order of your choice. Once arranged, please submit the form as for Option 1 above.
- Option 3- A major donation. Currently, an investment of £250,000 is needed to generate income equivalent to a full fee bursary. The School seeks to guarantee at least 8 such awards, hence the £2 million investment target. Donations of £25,000 or more would have real impact, attracting commensurate status. Please contact the Development Director for more details or submit the Gift Form and await his (immediate!) response.
- Option 4- A legacy bequest is a most effective way of boosting the investments needed to underpin our fees assistance scheme. Legacies are exempt from inheritance tax and are deducted from the value of your estate before the calculation of tax liability. Although professional financial and legal advice is a prerequisite, you are encouraged to contact the Bursar or Development Director to discuss, in strictest confidence, available options. Please see ‘Donor Recognition’ for details of the special status accorded to those dear friends of the School who promise a gift of this nature.
Every contribution is important.
Contributions will be used for fees assistance unless donors elect otherwise.
