The Annual Fund is how our community comes together, year after year, to support what matters most, widening access through bursaries and hardship support, enhancing facilities, and ensuring the schools continue to offer an outstanding all-round education.

What is the Annual Fund?

The Annual Fund is our core fundraising programme. Rather than supporting one single project, it allows the Foundation to respond flexibly to need and opportunity across the schools.

Gifts to the Annual Fund help to:

• support pupils whose families need help with fees;
• enhance learning, pastoral care and co-curricular provision; and
• invest in facilities that enrich day-to-day school life.

Why participation matters more than size

One of the most important measures of a healthy Annual Fund is participation. When many alumni and former parents choose to give, even at a modest level, it:

• creates sustainable, predictable support;
• demonstrates belief in the school’s mission; and
• allows the Foundation to plan with confidence.

Regular monthly gifts, in particular, have a powerful cumulative effect. Over time, they quietly make a very real difference to pupils’ lives.

A track record of impact

Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Annual Fund has:

• supported pupils through bursaries and fee-remission;
• contributed to improvements in learning and pastoral environments; and
• strengthened our school’s ability to look after pupils when families face unexpected difficulty.

This impact is not the result of a few large gifts alone, but of many people choosing to stay connected and give what they can.

How you can help

If Princethorpe College, Crackley Hall or Crescent School played a positive role in your life, or in your family’s, the Annual Fund is a simple way to give something back. This could be:

• A regular gift of £5 or £10 a month
• A one-off donation, if that suits you better

Every gift counts. Every supporter matters.

Together, small acts of generosity create lasting opportunity.
