Gift Aid

As the School has charitable status, any cash gift made by a UK taxpayer can be increased by nearly a third with the addition of Gift Aid. This means that if you give a gift of £100, the gift is actually worth £128 to us.

If you are a higher-rate taxpayer, you can also receive an allowance from the Inland Revenue via your Self-Assessment tax return. This means that on a gift of £100, the net cost to you is only £77.

The tables below show how tax-effective your gifts can be.
