Regular Gifts
By establishing a regular income, we can create a sustainable fund allowing us to proactively develop the School, from facility refurbishments to an increase in bursary fund support for families who cannot afford the fees. For instructions on how to set up your Direct Debit, please click here.
Leave a Legacy
Leaving a gift in your will can be an easy and effective way of making a significant contribution to the students at Purcell. As a registered charity, your gift would also be exempt from inheritance tax, making your donation go even further. Click here for more information.
However you chose to make your bequest, whether it be cash, property or assets, it is important to take legal advice.
Supporting a Scholar
A handful of our students receive significant financial support from donors which provides them with a prestigious title. In return, the donor has a scholar named after their support and receives regular updates on their progress. To discuss supporting a scholar, please contact Chris Harbour, Head of Development and Philanthropy via the details below.
Corporate Support
We have a number of opportunities for organisations to sponsor various aspects within the school calendar, including our showcase concerts and masterclasses throughout the year. Organisations or groups also have the opportunity to select The Purcell School as their preferred or nominated charity.
For any questions about supporting our remarkable students, please contact the Development Team on development@purcell-school.org or 01923 331131.
Giving Day: 11-12 December 2025
The Purcell School’s inaugural Giving Day will take place on 11-12 December 2025. This special day is an opportunity for our community to come together in support of our students and the School’s Bursary Fund. The Giving Day celebrates the spirit of generosity that make The Purcell School such a vibrant and caring place to study.
At the heart of the event, our talented students will participate in a continuous 24-hour concert. Musicians from all departments will perform in a fundraising concert which will be live streamed from the School, spanning the whole 24 hours.
Money raised will directly support the School’s Bursary Fund, helping students without the financial means to receive a musical education. In these particularly difficult times, we want to ensure every student has the access to the best opportunities possible.
We would love to partner with businesses, organisations and individuals to make our Giving Day an even greater success. If you, your business or the company where you work, would be interested in being a sponsor of the event, please let us know. Sponsorship is a meaningful way to invest in our students while also giving recognition to your business or brand.
