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.
