Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace 23rd August 2021
From The Headmaster
During 2020/2021, it would be easy to assume that the multiple lockdowns caused by Covid resulted in fundraising taking a back step during this time. Yet, as this report will show, a combination of the resilience and generosity of the wider Stonyhurst Family and the adaptability of the Development Team meant that working together as ' men and women for others’ we not only achieved our Annual Fund but successfully launched the “Passing It On” Appeal to build a new rugby pavilion on Smithfield.
These achievements, against such a difficult backdrop are testimony to the generosity and benevolence of the Stonyhurst Family for the benefit of our pupils today and for future generations.
We owe much to our supporters and friends – thank you.
John Browne Headmaster, Stonyhurst
The 'Passing It On' Appeal
The ‘Passing It On’ Appeal to build a new Rugby Pavilion on Smithfield was launched in 2020/2021. The aim was that the fundraising would be completed by August 2021 to allow the new pavilion to be built at the end of the 2021/2022 rugby season so that it was ready for the OS Centenary of Rugby Celebrations on 3rd June 2022. Given global events we were stunned and more than a little delighted to have achieved our target by August 2021, thanks in large part to a significant gift/contribution from our Gibraltar OS community
The Captains' Campaign
This was a discrete campaign within the ‘Passing It On Appeal’ which encouraged previous 1st XV Captains’ to lead their teams and Playrooms onto the fundraising field in support of the new pavilion. Things became very competitive with progress charted on a ‘leaderboard’. Eventually 1983 ran out as the winners closely followed by 1985.
All those who donated to the Captains’ Campaign or the Gibraltar Fund are recognised on the permanent donors' board within the pavilion.
The new Gibraltar Pavilion will be a lasting legacy underlining the importance of rugby to a Stonyhurst education

Your Support in 2020/2021
We recognise that fees alone cannot meet the costs of every aspect of school life, but we remain ambitious about the development of all our Stonyhurst and Stonyhurst St Mary’s pupils, seeking to discover and nurture each pupil’s gifts and unlock their potential, whatever that may be.
The primary source of support bridging this gap is through donations.
Thanks to the generosity of the Stonyhurst community we are delighted to have received £187,357 in 2020/2021. Every penny of this is used to improve the school for our pupils today and for future generations.
In addition to this, we received a grant of £456,688 from The Stonyhurst Foundation for specific provision of bursaries.

Your Legacy to Stonyhurst
Legacies are often the most significant gift a person can make, and less than half (41%) of UK adults have written a will.
We are incredibly grateful to the sixty-six individuals who have pledged to leave a gift to Stonyhurst in their wills - your legacy is their future.
Five Key Questions
WHY?
Legacy gifts have played, and continue to play, an important role in the history of philanthropy at Stonyhurst Bequests left to our school have created bursaries and scholarships, enhanced our Collections and contributed to the environment in which our pupils live and study Rest assured that no matter the size of the gift, it will make a real difference
WHAT?
There are different types of gifts you can leave in your will, including:
a percentage of your estate - this is a residuary bequest a specific cash sum - known as a pecuniary bequest personal possessions - a specific bequest
All of these can also be left to provide for a loved one until their death, with the condition that it is then passed on to Stonyhurst This is called a reversionary bequest.
WHO?
We would of course expect a gift to Stonyhurst to be given after you have provided for your loved ones.
If you leave 10% or more of your net taxable estate to registered charities such as Stonyhurst, you can reduce your Inheritance Tax Bill from 40% to 36% - meaning you make more of a charitable impact without affecting the inheritance given to your heirs
WHEN?
You can include Stonyhurst any time you update your will using a codicil or when writing your will for the first time It may be at a significant life moment - but you can do it whenever you like by speaking to your solicitor.
By leaving a legacy
