I have been involved with Wellingborough School for over 50 years, as a pupil, as a parent of two boys, as a Governor since 2000 and now the founding Chairman of the Foundation. The forming of the Foundation provides an exciting new focus for the School as it seeks to develop ever better facilities and opportunities for future generations of pupils. To achieve this the Governors will need to devote as much of the fee income as possible to meet the School’s operating costs whilst fully realising that fees must remain at an affordable level.

The School is justifiably proud of the level of education and support that it provides for all its pupils but there is little doubt that, to ensure that this is maintained over years to come, we will need to look for alternative sources of income. The generosity of Old Wellingburians, parents, former parents and friends is something that we will need to rely upon much more in the future.

I hope that you will feel able to help us in whatever way you can, because the simple truth is that if we can harness some of the energy and commitment already shown, we will achieve our objectives with distinction.

The School is doing everything it can to maintain its position of one of the leading independent schools in the country. Whether your interest is the support of capital projects or the expansion of the Scholarships and Bursaries programme, we hope that you will commit to this objective and give your support to the Foundation.
