How to Donate

Happiness - Success - Community

Registered Charity No:1208868

We warmly encourage Parents/Carers wishing to make either a one-off donation or set up regular giving to our Enrichment & Development Fund

We politely suggest a voluntary donation of £50 per month (or £200 per term). Your generous contributions help us provide outstanding facilities and resources that go beyond what our Local Authority funding can offer.

Donations to the Enrichment & Development Fund,supports a wide variety of elements including:

• Academic enrichment
• Digital resources
• The Arts
• Sports fixtures & events
• Competitive activities such as F1 in Schools, Robotics, Chess

It is important that parents/carers understand that there is no obligation to make donations.  Any amount is welcome and no student will be treated differently should their family choose not to contribute.

There are several ways to financially support the Enrichment & Development Fund.

1. Our preference is that you set up a regular donation via the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) platform which allows users to set up regular (or one-off) donations using Direct Debit, a CAF account, a Card payment or a PayPal payment. 

2. via Standing Order (see link to Standing Order Form below)

3. or via ParentPay (Parents/Carers only from Summer Term 2025 onwards))

Direct links are available below for all three payment methods, together with information relating to GIFT AID which allows us to claim an additional 25% on all donations, from HMRC.

Donations made via the online 'CAF' platform enables the school to automatically benefit from an additional 25% on donations (made from appropriate UK tax payers) without having to manually process the Gift Aid claim from UK Gov separately.

The CAF platform enables users to set up regular donations via a CAF account or Direct Debit or to donate a one-off donation using a CAF account, a Card Payment or a PayPal Account.

We are currently raising funds via two pages on the CAF platform where donations can be made to either our main Enrichment & Development Fund, or the Cricket Nets project. Either can be accessed directly via the following links:

If you are not using the direct links above, please ensure you select 'St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School' when making your donation(s), (NOT 'St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO' which is a different organisation).

If in doubt, please check the Post Code which is: BR6 9SH
