Vision 312 is a bold initiative to provide the facilities and resources needed to educate a new generation of pupils at Archbishop Tenison’s School.
We are looking to raise £1 million in donations over the next year to fund projects including:
-
Modernisation of four science laboratories
-
Creating a new independent learning centre to include a library, computer suite and research centre
-
Providing pupils and students with equipment and facilities to enhance their studies across the curriculum
-
Opening a respite centre for pupils and students needing additional support
-
Updating Arts facilities to support the vital contribution Music, Art, Drama and Dance make to the school curriculum
-
Creating additional classrooms to improve our Sixth Form facilities and EAL provision

Launch event for Vision 312 - Southwark Cathedral on Wednesday 21st May at 7pm.
The service will mark the start of our 312th year, by celebrating our history and sharing our educational vision for our pupils now and in the future.
At this very special event at Southwark Cathedral, we will share our vision for the future of Archbishop Tenison's.
As well as a short service led by the Bishop of Croydon, The Right Reverend Dr Rosemarie Mallett, we will hear from current and former members of the school community, including actor Gary Carr.
After the service you are invited to a reception, together with an exhibition of our plans for improving learning opportunities in every subject.
The Development Trust
The Archbishop Tenison’s School Development Trust (Charity Commission reference 282496) exists to ensure that pupils and students are given the best possible environment for their learning and developing in their educational career by meeting required expenditures on building maintenance and capital projects. It also helps cover additional projects to improve the School.
It is The Trust’s vision to provide an environment for your child to allow them to achieve their full potential and thrive.
As a Voluntary Aided school Archbishop Tenison’s relies on The Trust for funding, the principal source of which is donations made by parents and carers who share this vision and have the means to support.
Previous projects funded by the Trust include:
-
New Music room with Apple Mac computers, and fully equipped recording studio
-
New Technology and Art rooms with computers
-
Sports Hall construction and fitting out
-
Digital pianos for Main Hall and Music room
-
Emergency replacement of boilers
-
Conversion of old changing rooms into a new toilet block
These improvements provided an immeasurable benefit to the pupils and students and the Trust’s future projects will continue to provide an environment that fosters outstanding learning and allows them to fulfil their potential.
Please join other parents and carers in contributing to the Development Trust.
The Trust has some required expenditures that we are obligated to pay, namely:
Southwark Diocesan Maintenance Fund, for maintenance of the buildings. This gives rise to a yearly payment of around £25 per pupil.
-
Making up a 10% gap in funding for all building projects, typically requiring the Trust to pay several tens of thousands of pounds per year as we work to improve the School.
The Trust is a separate entity from the School. It has its own Trustees, consisting of past and present parents and Governors of the school, and prepares its own accounts which can be viewed through the Charity Commission website.
