The aim of our annual review is to provide a

perspective on the overall performance of the

school over the past year.

King’s could not be the school it is without the

support we receive from the whole community.

Included in this report is a list of our donors in

2013-14 – generous people who have helped us

achieve much more than our business accounts

alone would allow.

As we celebrate the achievements of the past,

with the arrival of a new headmaster this autumn,

this is also our opportunity to share with you some

of our plans for the future of the school.

Over the course of last year we ran a series

of consultation groups with members of the

community. Much of the content of this report and

our plans for the future have been guided by the

suggestions from those who participated in these

consultations.

It is a tremendous pleasure to take over as Headmaster of the King’s School, and to become part of a school community whose warmth and sense of purpose is immediately evident to visitors. Kate and I have been very struck by the generous welcome we have received, and I look forward to working closely with the various groups which make up the school community in the years ahead.

The honour boards in College Hall provide us with a daily reminder of the school’s academic heritage, and maintaining the strength and vigour of intellectual life is of course a priority. The provision of a challenging education which will fit our pupils to adapt and change in unexpected ways during their professional lives is at the very heart of what we do. In order to achieve this it is of course critical that our pastoral care is strong, and that we foster the self-belief and determination which are the most significant contributors to success in the long term.

I have been tremendously impressed by the relationships among pupils and between pupils and staff at King’s, and it is a great source of pleasure to me that visitors almost never leave without remarking on the quality of the Sixth Form guides who have accompanied them around the site. Another element which is noteworthy is the extraordinary vigour and range of extra-curricular activity on offer here, with high levels of participation in many varied areas.

A further fillip will be provided both to academic provision and to extra-curricular activity with the opening of the Keyes Building in 2015. The new centre for sports and the performing arts will enable us to provide further opportunities in both areas, and will provide us as well with much-needed additional classroom space. We are most grateful to so many of you for the generosity with which you have supported this project; the results will make a material difference to the quality of education at King’s.

Sitting as we do beneath the Cathedral, we are constantly reminded of the rich history of a school which has the privilege to use a former refectory for its assemblies and one of England’s most magnificent ecclesiastical buildings for services. We also remember the original foundation in 1541, and its provision for forty poor scholars. Our 475th anniversary is fast approaching, and our focus in development moves towards an ambitious goal, to create and sustain bursarial funding which will enable us to continue to provide the privilege of a King’s education to pupils who will benefit for the rest of their lives, even if they do not have the means to pay the full fees.

A mixture of pupils of different talents and strengths is critically important to an institution such as King’s. Bursarial funding, when used wisely, transforms individual lives and also adds greatly to the strength and vitality of the school. Many of our most successful alumni benefited from the provision of a King’s education through the Assisted Places Scheme, and we hope that all our supporters will feel moved to support efforts to ensure that we have the long-term resources to continue our support for a wide range of pupils regardless of ability to pay.

The King’s School provides a diverse and rich education and the Cathedral continues to play an important part in day to day school life. The boy choristers attend the school as do many of the female choristers and the King’s and Queen’s scholars are an integral part of the Cathedral foundation.

The senior school is still structured around the house system. There are eight houses and the house system ensures that age groups are integrated. A healthy house rivalry still exists and in addition to house sport there are competitions in song, music, general knowledge and maths. King’s no longer has any boarding pupils but it continues to put great emphasis on sport, music and extra-curricular activities.

A view from the Development Trust The view from the development office

The Annual CampaignIn April we re-launched the Annual Campaign. This is a yearly programme which offers parents and OVs the opportunity to contribute to projects and aspects of education which cannot be funded through the fees.

Our focus for 2013-14 was on specific items to go into The Keyes Building and our leaving gift for the retiring headmaster, The Keyes Bursary. Current parents were offered the opportunity to make regular donations through their bills, and those with children leaving, were invited to donate the original deposit they made to the school. Over £40,000 was raised through the campaign this year and our thanks goes to everyone who chose to support the school in this way.

The Keyes BursariesAt the end of the summer term, we said farewell to Tim Keyes. From the very start, he was a Headmaster who articulated with passion the importance of widening the opportunities of the King’s School to as many children as possible. In recognition of this, the Development Trust invited all of the King’s Community - parents, pupils, alumni and friends of the school - to join together to help to fund a new bursary to be known as the Keyes Bursary.

Over £250,000 was received through individual donations and The Annual Campaign for this gift; as a result of this tremendous support we have been able to award two new bursaries to be known as the Keyes Bursaries. The first will be funded through our Enduring Bursary Fund which is a capital fund providing a revenue stream to support bursaries. It has been awarded to a fourth form entrant this year. The intention is that this award will be available in perpetuity. The second full fee bursary has been funded through our Fellowship Bursary Fund, where groups of the community join together to make regular contributions to support a bursary.

The 1541 SocietyOur 1541 Society recognises all those who have supported the school in a major way, whether through volunteering their support and expertise, donating to our Trust funds or by remembering the school in their will.

A legacy is a very personal gift to make and one of the most important ways in which people can choose to give to their former schools. This year, we conducted a number of consultation groups to help us understand how we can encourage more of our community to support us in this way, and our thanks goes to everyone who took part in these. We have been delighted to welcome several new members, including a number of parents, who have advised us of bequests this year to the 1541 society. At the back of this report, you will find example wording for a will and a simple codicil form in case you would like to consider making a legacy to the King’s School Worcester Development Trust.

Members of our leadership group for bursaries contributed over £171,000 through generous individual donations

The OV Club donated a cheque for £4,000 on behalf of all the alumni at the reunion weekend

Upper Sixth pupils donated the proceeds from their end of term ball

Parents of OVs presented the Headmaster with a cheque for over £30,000 at the Leavers’ drinks in June

Leaving parents of the 2014 Upper Sixth have contributed over £4,000 by donating their original registration deposits

Current parents and staff have presented the Headmaster with over £3,000 through contributions to the Annual campaign

The Keyes Bursaries contributions

Since 2001 the Development Trust has

been able to secure charitable donations

and pledges which are equivalent in value to the operating surplus of the school over the same

period. Just over 50% of these funds have been committed towards the bursary programme.

The Bolland family advised us in the summer of a bequest to the school

from the late David Bolland (S 32-37). This

money will be invested in the Enduring Bursary Fund and will help us to award means-tested bursaries in

perpetuity.

Established in 1968, the King’s School Worcester Development Trust is a registered charity separate from the governing body. The Trust endeavours to bring together all the areas of the school community: Old Vigornians (former pupils), teachers, our past and present parents, current pupils and friends of the school. The trustees reflect and represent this community and our simple aim is to support the Governors and staff of the King’s School in: ‘helping young people to reach their potential at school in preparation for leading confident, fulfilled and unselfish lives as adults’.

We do this by providing a network of advice, guidance, volunteering and philanthropic support. Funds donated to the Trust are used to provide mean-tested bursaries, and investment in the teaching and learning facilities. The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the wishes of those who give to the school are properly upheld.

A view from our pupils and supporters A view of the future – Andrew Reekes (Chairman of the Development Trust)

8 9

Put simply, bursaries change lives. They open up a King’s School education and a world of opportunity to talented young people who wouldn’t otherwise have the means. In 2013/14 we invited pupils who have benefitted from bursaries in recent years to become bursary ambassadors for the school and to help us continue to encourage our community to support this programme.

‘My art education whilst at King’s was second to none and has undoubtedly enabled me to get to where I am now. Everyone at King’s is aiming to help and improve you so you can leave school the best you can be’

George Watson (Cr 02-07) studied at the University of West England and is now working

as a model maker for amongst other companies, Aardman Animations.

‘The commitment to create better access to the opportunities available at King’s has contributed significantly to where I am now. My time at King’s was enjoyable and challenging - as much as anyone could ask from secondary education. My experiences from rowing and the positions of responsibility I was entrusted with have instilled a sense of confidence and commitment that has made me the out-going and ambitious person I am now. I am truly grateful for what King’s has offered me. From my background, what I have achieved is something no one in my family would have guessed I could have done.’

Helping to fund a bursary can also change the lives of those who have been involved. This year, we have invited some of our most generous supporters to join a leadership group for bursaries. Their role is to help us to continue to build the funds we have available through the development trust for our bursary programme.

‘My King’s Scholarship gave me access to the fine and inspiring teaching that put me on a path to many rewarding times since: it would be sad and strange for there to be fewer such opportunities in 2041 than in 1541’

Simon Webb (H 60-69) benefitted from a free place through the Direct Grant scheme and a King’s Scholarship. He is a member of our leadership group for bursaries.

2014 has been very much a year of chapters closing, and new ones opening. The last couple of years have seen an intense effort, firstly to raise that £1 million target we set ourselves to contribute to the largest construction project in the history of the King’s School, that of the sports and performing arts centre, fittingly renamed The Keyes Building in the summer. As I write it nears completion. It will immeasurably enhance the sporting, dance and academic facilities of King’s, and it is a real cause of satisfaction that parents, OVs and the community have been able to play a significant part in enabling that SPACE vision to be realised. No sooner had the community drawn a collective breath than it set out in April to raise funds to endow an enduring bursary in recognition of Tim Keyes headmastership. So well did this campaign go that a sum of over £250,000 was achieved, permitting us to fund an additional Sixth Form Fellowship bursary.

The Keyes name was common to both these fund-raising initiatives, and that reflects both the affection and the respect in which Tim Keyes is held within the wider King’s School community. He was central to the decision to create the Development Trust when he was appointed to the headmastership, and he has been a huge support to its efforts. This year he retired to richly deserved encomia (the classicist in him would insist on a correct plural). He has been succeeded by Matthew Armstrong, and we much look forward to working with him in the Development Trust.

Since that interlude of raising money for a capital project, the Trust has returned to its primary and original focus, that of generating funds for bursary provision. This enables children, whose parents could not otherwise afford it, to benefit from a superb all round education at The King’s School. One avenue we have been exploring is that of legacies. Some £1.8 million has already been pledged to the school. It is clearly a critically important area. Last April we ran a number of consultation groups, in Worcester and in London, to hear what OVs and friends felt – both about the school, and about leaving it money in their wills. It was a most instructive exercise: it was clear that there was much affection for the school, but that we had to spell out more clearly the school’s financial position, and the pressing need it had to raise money for bursaries. Sir Stephen Tomlinson, OV, has agreed to head up the Trust’s legacy campaign.

It was a discussion at one of these London consultations which prompted us to think about the business of raising money to fund bursaries in an historical context. In 1541, Henry VIII’s Letters Patent founding the school had stipulated that education should be provided freely for 40 students who were ‘poor and destitute of the help of friends, with an inborn aptitude for learning.’ Our aim is to achieve a capital fund which will secure 40 full fee bursaries in perpetuity (we provide 6 at present) by 2041, the 500th anniversary of the King’s School. It is a long-term ambition which few of us involved in the Trust will live to see, and it does not of course preclude other initiatives along the way, but it would be indeed fitting to have recovered the Founder’s original intention by the time we reach such an important landmark.

For a period in our history, when King’s was a Direct Grant school from 1945 to 1976, and then again when it was in receipt of Assisted Places from 1980 to 1997, it was able to retain a broad social mix and educate children who would benefit from the education. We strive now to replicate that without government assistance.

Based on current fees, it costs £85,000 for a child to be educated for the full 7 years at the King’s School - £4,000 each term

87 pupils currently receive some sort of bursary support out of the 960 pupils in the senior school

In 2014 the School funded the equivalent of 47 full fee places through bursaries. 14 of these were paid for by philanthropic funds raised by the Development Trust but only 6 were secured in perpetuity.

We need to raise a capital sum of around £225,000 to fund each full fee bursary in perpetuity

Demand for bursary places continues to out-strip supply

The Leadership Group:Michael Pimley (Hostel 61-71) Chairman, Mr Robert Spier (School 45-55), Sir Geoffrey Mulcahy (Chappel 52-60), Mr Tony Halford (Chappel 56-61), Mrs Kalantha Brewis (Parent), Simon Webb CBE FICE (Hostel 60-69) The Right Hon.

‘supporting a bursary, watching a pupil progress

through the school and experience many of the

same things that formed me when I was a pupil at King’s,

has been one of the most rewarding experiences of

my life and something I am determined to continue whilst

I have the means’-

Legacy GiftsA Legacy to King’s is one of the simplest and greatest gifts you can make. It creates a permanent testimony to your affection

for the school and allows you to support in a way in which you may not be able to during your lifetime. The tax benefits are

considerable - all such bequests can be made free from Inheritance and Capital Gains Tax, so by making such a gift, you

could reduce the total tax burden levied on your estate to your family.

If you already have a will, you can include a bequest to the school by simply completing the codicil form enclosed and

lodging this with your solicitor.

If you haven’t made a will, we include below some suggested wording which could be used although we would always

recommend that you consult with a solicitor.

A legacy bequest is a very personal gift but we would like to thank and acknowledge you in your lifetime by including you as

a member of our 1541 Society, which recognises those who have supported the school in a major way, so please do let us

know if you have remembered King’s in this way.

Suggested wording for a legacy gift to the King’s School WorcesterI give to the King’s School Worcester, Development Trust…………………………………………………

with the request that it be used for the benefit of the Enduring Bursary Fund/ with the request that it be used for

such purposes as the Trustees in their absolute discretion think fit/ with the request that the funds be used for

………………………………………………I confirm that the receipt of a person who appears to be a proper officer of the

said Trust shall be a good discharge to my Executors and if, at my death, the said Trust has ceased to exist or has changed

most nearly fulfils the object which I intend to benefit.
