Bancroft’s
Foundation
A thank you and
consultation event
was held on Tuesday
15 January. We were
very pleased that
more than seventy
OBs, parents, former
parents and friends
of Bancroft’s travelled
out on a dark January evening to attend a
drinks reception and buffet curry supper here
at the School. The purpose was to thank them
for their support of the Bancroft’s Foundation
and to share with them plans for the future.
Some had tours of the School and then guests
were entertained by performances from the
music and drama departments including
preview performances from the imminent
Senior School Musical, Chicago.
The Head spoke about the School’s vision for the
Foundation, Ed Sautter, spoke about the support of the
OBA and three OBs Kavin Vijayakumar (2008-2015), Jack
Lewis (1996-2007) and Rishabh Shah (2003-2010) shared
their experiences of their time at school and how they
benefitted from the support that enabled them to have
a Bancroft’s education. With thanks to all the pupils and
staff involved who made this a wonderful evening.
The Bancroft’s Foundation was established by the School’s
Governors with one goal: to support more talented pupils
at the School, regardless of their financial situation.
To date we have already been supported by more
than 600 Old Bancroftians, parents, parents of Old
Bancroftians, staff past and present, and friends of the
School, in addition to the Drapers’ Company and the
School is most grateful to all those who have already
generously lent their support.
