Trinity School Annual Report on Giving
Headmaster’s Introduction
A spirit of generosity is at the heart of every good community. In our School it is what we want our students to experience, from their teachers and from each other, and we hope that they in turn will offer it to the communities that they will join in the future. A demonstrable part of that generosity is the resource that we can direct to building educational aspiration in our area with partner schools and making a difference to local families. I think this is one of the things that makes learning and working at Trinity distinctive and rewarding. This would not be possible without the generosity of our donors, both in the past and today. From the time of John Whitgift’s initial foundation more than 400 hundred years ago, individual and collective giving has inspired others – former students, parents and other supporters - to bequeath to their successors the means to take part in an education at Trinity. Every donation - including all those detailed in these pages has a story behind it, contributing to the ongoing narrative of the School. Without them, we could not be the school we are, with the reach we have, and the ambition to be even better in the future. For that, I am most sincerely grateful to all those who have contributed. The launch of the regular giving initiative at Trinity earlier this year, and the success of the #NoSmallChange telephone fundraising campaign in August, represent a new chapter in the life of the School. I was delighted that our parents, alumni and staff wholeheartedly signalled their approval of our drive to ensure that we remain within reach of any child who would thrive here, not only for the difference it will make to them, but also for the way it shapes the values of our whole community. We are committed to remaining a school where talent and determination are the only prerequisites for access. With the steadfast support of the John Whitgift Foundation, our bursary programme currently benefits nearly one fifth of Trinity’s pupils, helping the School to remain a place that is both inclusive and ambitious, and deeply connected to its local community. I hope you enjoy reading this Annual Report, and feel equally inspired by the stories it seeks to tell.

Trinity School Annual Report on Giving
Trinity’s Development & Alumni Office was formed in March 2018 and has two purposes: firstly, the strengthening and deepening of relationships with, and between, Trinity alumni and parents through a programme of publications, events, networking and volunteering opportunities. Secondly,

BURSARIES THIS YEAR
need to increase the number and value of means-tested bursaries beyond the current financial support offered by the John Whitgift Foundation. We must ensure that we can continue to offer places to any child who would benefit from a Trinity education. In 2018/19, the first full year of active campaigning, the School received donations from 275 supporters. £67,200 was received by the Trinity Bursary Fund with a further £26,000 being given to the Organ Project. Supporters have also confirmed gifts and pledges of a further £188,000 to the Bursary Fund over the next four years (including gifts from the telephone campaign below) and a growing number of alumni have indicated that they have made provision for Trinity in their wills. At the beginning of September, six brave

members of the Trinity staff completed their English Channel relay swimming challenge (held over from August due to bad weather) raising sponsorship monies of a further £2,840 towards bursaries at Trinity. 2018/19 also saw a rapid growth of our outreach activities to alumni and parents, bringing “lost” or disconnected alumni back into a closer relationship with the School. Our programme of events is widespread and over 5,000 former pupils are now receiving our publications in physical and digital form.

successful, with gifts and pledges being received from 170 new donors to a total of £120,475 over a 4-year period. Our calling team of twelve former pupils spoke to 530 alumni and parents over a two-week period in August, with a third of all calls resulting in a gift. This is an encouraging outcome for a school conducting its first campaign, indicating that parents and alumni identify with the aims of the Trinity Bursary Fund.
Trinity Bursary Fund The Trinity Bursary Fund now supports seven locally based pupils at Trinity to an annual cost of just over £100,000. These include three boys who have entered the Junior year this September on awards averaging 91% of school fees. In the coming year we anticipate that, thanks to the generosity of our donors, we will be in a position to make a further four significant Trinity Bursary Fund awards at a total annual cost of just under £200,000. Our medium term goal is to meet the growing demand for bursary assistance by growing income from donations and legacies to £350,000 each year to support a further 20 full bursaries at Trinity.
Moving Forward
The positive response to our campaigns in 2018/19 shows the commitment of our supporters to keeping Trinity true to its fundamental purpose as a whole-community school. The goal of providing further bursary places will require collective support from the Trinity community going forward because, although we are lucky to have the continued financial support of the John Whitgift Foundation, this support is unlikely to increase. This year, our total bursary spend has grown to approximately £2 million, thanks to the generosity of our donors. In the coming years we will look to broaden participation in our regular giving programme, ensuring that achieving the goal of providing enough additional bursaries to meet the needs of our children doesn’t depend too heavily on particular individuals or groups. Working together and giving according to our means, we can change children’s lives:
It takes just 40 people coming together to give £1 per day to fully fund a bursary place at Trinity. When it comes to the education of the young, there is no such thing as small change. Beyond the regular giving programme, in the coming year we will be highlighting the power of matched giving for supporters who work for one of the many UK companies who run a £ for £ match scheme and discussing with those Trinity supporters who own their own businesses how to reduce their company tax bills by making a donation to Trinity. We will also be running a programme on planned giving strategies with supporters who are considering leaving a gift to the School in their Wills and becoming members of Trinity’s Mitre Society.

I’d like to thank all those who have taken an interest in our fundraising efforts this year as donors, volunteers, ambassadors and friends. The Trinity community is generous in both spirit and action and I’m delighted to be able to play my part in widening access to it.

Our Bursary Programme
Trinity School Annual Report on Giving
All bursary candidates must perform well in our entrance exams and interviews and, whilst we look to see what students will bring to all areas of life of the School – sports, music, creative arts, etc., we tend to offer financial support to those who demonstrate the most academic potential. Each year, following the completion of our candidate selection, I look into the assessments of financial means which are carried out centrally by the John Whitgift Foundation to match available funds to candidate needs. The majority of funding comes from our share of the endowment income of the Foundation, with the proceeds of our fundraising for the Trinity Bursary Fund topping this up to approximately £2 million per year. No school fee income is used to support our bursary programme. The Foundation distribution currently meets the equivalent of around twenty additional full fee places per year. With some candidates receiving bursaries which are combined with scholarship awards, we generally make between 22 and 24 new
Thanks to the endowment income of the John Whitgift Foundation, Trinity’s bursary programme is one of the most extensive in UK schools. In the 2019/20 school year 170 of our 1033 pupils – nearly 17% of the school roll – receive means-tested awards, the majority of which are for more than two-thirds of school fees. David Price, Trinity’s Director of Admissions (himself a pupil at Trinity in the 1980s and along with his three brothers - the beneficiary of a John Whitgift Foundation Bursary) has the principal responsibility for awarding bursaries.
awards each year, with these being targeted largely at boys joining the School at 10+ and 11+. The Trinity Bursary Fund enables us to increase the number of awards we can make to meet rising demand for financial support. With seven additional awards currently being funded via the Trinty Bursary Fund, I’m very proud to say, that for the last two years, we have been able to take in every student to whom we have offered a place and who has needed a bursary in order to be able to accept that place. But I know, from my work with local primary schools, that there are many local children who would thrive at Trinity whose families are not applying to the School because they fear that the financial burden may be too great. We do our best to keep the financial barriers to entry manageable for lower income families – offering help with registration fees and deposits, costs of travel, trips, school lunches and school uniform (via the Good as New programme, which is run by the Trinity Parents’ Association) – but the availability of bursary funding is the surest way on

Trinity School Annual Report on Giving
The Impact of Bursaries at Trinity School Our bursary programme provides an essential channel of advancement for young people in Croydon, a borough where nearly 25% of children live in low income families. UK Government research shows that only 1 in 9 children from low income backgrounds get into top jobs. The inability of gifted children from low income backgrounds to access the educational support and training necessary to achieve entry to high-quality (Russell Group and similar) universities and progress to the professions is a key factor in the stalling of social mobility. In Croydon last year only 6.1% of A Level students achieved the AAB grades necessary for them to enter into the best universities. By contrast, 90% of

The Trinity Organ Project
Organ music is back at Trinity While the principal focus of Trinity’s fundraising outreach is the Bursary Fund, Trinity’s music lovers at Trinity responded magnificently to a shortterm fundraising campaign for a new organ at Trinity. Organ music has long been an integral part of Trinity’s musical history, with many of our students becoming accomplished church and university Organ Scholars. Some twenty years ago, the School’s original instrument - funded by donations from parents and former pupils in 1954 and dedicated to the memory of pupils who died serving in World War Two – fell into disrepair, meaning that we couldn’t give our students the opportunity to play and appreciate this wonderful instrument. Thanks to the support of Trinity musicians, many of whom first experienced the thrill of choral and organ music under successive departmental heads, Mr Parkinson, Mr Squibb and Mr Swinson, we were able to raise £26,000. towards the installation of a superb three-manual digital Wyvern Organ which now has pride of place in the Trinity Concert Hall. The highlight of the Trinity Organ Fund campaign was undoubtedly the sell-out fundraising concert held on 15th March in which we invited former Trinity Choristers to join the school choirs and orchestra for a stirring performance of Mozart’s Requiem and a performance (on a loan instrument) of Nun danket alle Gott by Karg-Elert by former Trinity organ tutor Chris Dowie reminding the audience what an organ sounded like in the Concert Hall. On 11th September the inaugural recital on the newly-installed instrument was given by David Briggs, an internationally renowned British concert organist and composer who treated the audience, which included our donors as our VIP guests, to a dazzling demonstration of the Wyvern’s capabilities. The evening saw the dedication of the new instrument, by the Vicar of Croydon, the Rev. Canon Dr Andrew Bishop, to the continued memory of Trinity’s war dead. The evening closed, most appropriately, with a massed school and adult choir singing Parry’s famous coronation anthem, I Was Glad. My thanks go to the Development Department for their organisation of this fundraising campaign and to our 68 wonderful donors who, together, brought organ music back to Trinity to inspire the next generation of school musicians.
