The Centenary Fund passed GBP 25,000 this month, from rather more donors than we expected at this stage and a good number of them giving monthly. The target is GBP 100,000 by the Festival on 3 July 2027.

The money is doing three things. The first is the centenary garden. The second is the restoration of the honours boards in the hall, which have not been readable since the 1980s and are being re-lettered by hand. The third, and the one the governors care most about, is a bursary in the name of the school's first intake - one pound for every year, a thousand times over, funded in perpetuity.

Every gift is listed on the giving page with a running total, and Gift Aid adds 25p to every pound if you pay UK tax. If your employer runs a matched giving scheme, that is the cheapest way to double it.
