A legacy to Skinners' School is one of the greatest gifts that can be made and is a lasting testimony to the affection of the donor for the School.

Legacies can be directed to an area of choice or can support all aspects of life at Skinners by allocating the gift to the area of greatest need. For instance, it may be that the legacy should be used to fund Capital projects e.g. Buildings, or unrestricted so the school can put the bequest towards something of greatest benefit for the students. 

The Development Office would be very happy to suggest appropriate wording for the most common types of legacy. However, we recommend that wording is carefully reviewed by the donor and his/her solicitor in the context of the Will and their personal circumstances.

The Lawrence Atwell Society

We appreciate that making a bequest to Skinners' is a very personal decision. We understand that and, of course, would guarantee anonymity and respect privacy. However, we hope that those who plan to leave a legacy will inform us of their intentions so that we can thank them for their kindness and generosity during their lifetime.

In order that we can recognise the kindness of those who have remembered Skinners in their Will, we have founded the Lawrence Atwell Society. All those who have made us aware of their intention to include the School in their Will automatically become a member and be invited to a special annual event at the school.
