Philanthropy has played a pivotal role at various stages in The Royal Latin School’s long history, and we are very grateful to those individuals, corporate partners and charitable trusts who still wish to make donations to enable us to continue to improve our facilities and learning opportunities for our students.
Our 600 Campaign fundraising drive comprises three main phases – Phase One (the Discovery Centre, opened 2015), Phase Two (Sports Campus – opened 2021), and during 2025/26 we will publicly launch Phase Three, our Arts Centre, currently in feasibility study stage.
The School Development Fund continues to exist to enable supporters of the school to make regular or one-off gifts – either towards specific departments or projects, or towards the general upkeep of the school and its grounds.
If you’d like to make a general donation towards the school and are happy for us to decide which project to spend it on based on our most urgent needs, you can donate to the Annual Fund. We’ll put your gift to good use and report back to you every year about the projects you’ve helped to support.
Early Support
Phase Three of our ‘600 Campaign’ will be our proposed new Arts facility – housing the Music, Art and Drama departments to create a centre of artistic excellence at the very heart of the school, incorporating theatre, rehearsal, studio and gallery spaces, to transform our facilities and develop a vibrant creative hub in north Buckinghamshire. Our fundraising campaign for the Arts Centre won’t get underway publicly until 2025/26 – but if you would like to start contributing to our fund then you can start straight away, and we’ll keep you updated on our progress towards the campaign launch.
Help us raise funds for a grand piano
As a small step towards our Arts Centre, we’d like to purchase a grand piano. We currently have a quarter-size electric concert piano; it is adequate but does not offer the depth, resonance and sheer inspiration that an acoustic grand piano can offer. We would like to provide our talented students with the best performance experience possible and inspire others to learn. Our goal is to raise £60k so we can purchase a Steinway Model B, a world-class instrument celebrated for its unparalleled performance.
Ongoing Improvements
It’s fantastic to see our new ek robotics Sports Campus complete.
Now we need to make sure that we can keep the facilities in tip-top condition with regular equipment maintenance, annual equipment servicing, ongoing improvements and a special fund to allow us to save up £25,000 per year to allow for resurfacing of the pitch in 2030. If you would like to contribute towards keeping our Sports Campus as amazing as it should be you can make a donation specifically towards this.
We are seeking Old Latins to lead the way in becoming founding members of our alumni giving circle called Latin Inspires. Latin Inspires is a community of Old Latins passionate about supporting their old school and helping to inspire future generations of Latins.
Your gift will go towards the final phase of the 600 Campaign, which will see us create a fantastic theatre, music and art facility at the heart of the school and will give students the space and tools to gain the confidence, resilience and expressive skills they need in order to thrive.
