Godolphin&Latymer
ANNUAL GIVING PROGRAMME 2012
Why support the Annual Giving Programme? Giving girls a first-rate education requires funding that cannot be met through school fees alone. Each year, the school raises money through its Annual Giving Programme for projects that immediately benefit the educational and social development of every girl in the school. Every year, contributions to Annual Giving are also used to support school Bursaries. In the past, parents, Old Dolphins, staff and Friends of the School have contributed generously. Their donations have been used to purchase a new rowing boat, offer a Writer-in-Residence programme, and update the school’s language laboratories, among other projects. This year, donations to our Annual Giving Programme will fund a diverse and interesting group of projects that will benefit all. We hope you will consider making a generous donation to our girls.
How will Annual Giving donations be used in 2012? Bursary Support Because of our origins as a grammar school, we have an unusually strong commitment to ensuring a Godolphin & Latymer education is available to girls of intellectual promise from all backgrounds, regardless of ability to pay. We presently support 50 girls through Bursaries. We are committed to continuing to broaden access to the school through our Bursary programme.

How will Annual Giving donations be used in 2012? New Astroturf Our astroturf playing areas need urgent attention. Tree roots have made the surfaces uneven and have caused damage to the Astroturf itself. As a result, play is currently restricted to only two-thirds of the Astroturf area. Girls have to play home matches away at offsite pitches. Replacing the Astroturf and containing the tree roots will mean the girls can once again have full use of the playing areas which include nine tennis courts, three hockey pitches and three rounders/ cricket pitches. The new surface will provide a foundation for our growing sporting success as exemplified by our U15 cricket squad, who are current 2011 national champions; the U13 cricket squad who are the current London schools’ champions; and the hockey team, currently county champions.
How will Annual Giving donations be used in 2012? Library Enhancements The Godolphin & Latymer library is at the heart of the school, figuratively and literally. We are fortunate to have an extensive catalogue of books as well as a rapidly expanding collection of online resources. We would like to ensure that the fabric, furniture and fittings of the library are as up to date and inviting as its contents. We plan to improve spaces for collaborative work by providing modular desks; equip areas designed for independent study with individual carrels; and furnish the fiction section with comfortable sofas.
Musical Additions The school is keen to encourage girls to strike out in new directions, including musical ones. We would like to complete our brass ensemble through the acquisition of the school’s first ever tuba. It is also time to replace our baby grand, the workhorse of our music room, now showing its age after many years of loyal service.
