Give the Gift of a King’s Education
In founding King’s, Canon Woodard’s aim was to make a first-class education accessible to a much broader spectrum of society. He was an early standard bearer for educational equality.
Our aim is to build a substantial endowment fund to pay for the education of academically gifted, local children. Aside from improving the life chances of the bursary recipients, and several generations through those they influence later in life, these gifted children will add to the fabric of our community and boost our academic gene pool.
The schools made a start to this bursary fund by depositing the proceeds from the sale of Convent land on South Road. But, we have a long way to go. If you would like to provide the gift of a King's education, please do get in touch with Brenda on BJWorth@kings-taunton.co.uk or on 01823 328184.
The Gift of a Legacy
We have been so incredibly fortunate to have been supported by former pupils and supporters of our schools.
To honour those who have made, or intend making, provision in their Will for King’s, we have established the Old Pelican Legacy Society. Chaired by David Stott, OA, Woodard 1945, the Society meets annually for an update on the progress of the schools and a good lunch… on us naturally.
If you have a fondness for King’s and a desire to see if flourish in perpetuity, we ask that you consider making a bequest in your will. Unless you specify otherwise, we will add your bequest to the King’s Bursary Fund to provide a King’s education to gifted, less advantaged children.
Not only will a legacy make an enormous difference to the long term prosperity of the schools, it is highly tax effective in terms of your estate. Check the HMRC website for the latest details.
