I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued interest in, and support of Skinners' School, particularly in these challenging times. I would like to introduce myself to those of you who have not yet met me. I am the new Development Director at Skinners’ School, which is responsible for both “friendraising” and fundraising crucial to the continued success of our school.

As we embark on the new school year, work is well underway to in-fill the covered walkway of New Wing. This is a significant project to enhance our excellent science teaching facilities with the addition of a new science lab and prep room, which will be completed in December. Alongside this, the changing room and toilet facilities are being renewed to include amenities for the welcome introduction of girls into the 6th form in September 2026.

This is phase one of our three-phased campaign to improve and modernise Skinners’ for future generations to come. There’s more information in the fundraising section of Leopards Connect.

Do contact the Development office if you would like to know how you can support our campaign, wish to visit the school or need help tracking down old friends, for news about the school and to see what’s on. I look forward to meeting you at Skinners’ school and thank you for joining Leopards Connect – you are the life blood of our community.
