Those of us who have benefitted from an education at Whitgift have relied for far too long on the philanthropic initiative of one man. It is now over 425 years since John Whitgift founded the School to provide for the ‘poorer sorte’ in the area. In those four centuries, there has been no diminution in the importance of education for the individual and society. So, it is high time that we as a school community step in to reinforce the charitable efforts of the founder.
Thank you in advance for your support, I am confident that the wider Whitgift community will build a fund big enough to ensure that Whitgift School makes a major social impact over its next four centuries.
