Your legacy

Make a gift and change a life

Exeter School owes its existence to gifts left in Wills and they still play an important role at school today. Legacies have helped the school purchase buildings, develop our site, and fund bursaries.

Most people leave their legacy gifts for ‘the general charitable purposes’ of the school, which means that these gifts can be used for the area of greatest need at the time. The school also welcomes legacies for specific purposes, such as bursaries. If you would like your gift to support a particular area at the school we recommend getting in touch to ensure we are able to accommodate your wishes.

Did you know…

Exeter School is a charity (registered charity number 1093080) so for every £1,000 you leave to the school you might save £400 in inheritance tax. You must, of course, take professional advice.

Legacy gifts of every size have a life-changing impact. You could leave 1% (or more, if your circumstances allow) to the school so that those closest to you inherit 99%.

A gift in your Will

Should you choose to support Exeter School with a gift in your Will your solicitor will need the following details:

  • Charity name: Exeter School
  • Charity address: Exeter School, Victoria Park Road, Exeter, EX2 4NS
  • Registered charity number: 1093080

If you would like to let us know that you have remembered the school in your Will we would welcome the opportunity to recognise your generosity. If you do wish to let us know there is no need to disclose the provision you have made, unless you particularly wish to do so.

If you (or your solicitor) have any questions about leaving a legacy to Exeter School, or would like to discuss this matter further, please do contact Alice Holohan, Director of Development and Alumni Relations, at 01392 458940 or asah@exeterschool.org.uk

Thank you for even considering supporting Exeter School in your Will.

We always recommend talking to a solicitor regarding matters concerning your Will.

 “Exeter School brought out the best of whatever I have to offer and so gave me a great start in life. That amounts to a formidable debt and I would like, through a bequest, to make some repayment of it.” Andrew Bulley (1969-1980)

 

Open evening - 8 May

At Exeter School we believe that education is about the moments that make us. Meaningful moments that get etched in our memories and the everyday kindness that makes them possible. We welcome you to discover Exeter School in the best way possible. See it. Experience it. Ask questions to the people who matter the most – our pupils.
