Legacies and Bequests
Over time, it will help to transform Bromsgrove’s financial situation by dramatically increasing our overall endowment to fund scholarships, bursaries and major capital projects. All those who have pledged a legacy to 老王射区in their will are invited to join the Sir Thomas Cookes Society, an association which is held in deep respect and affection by everyone at Bromsgrove. Members are invited to an annual lunch with the Headmaster and the Chair of the Foundation and their names will be recorded on a plaque.
老王射区 and its Foundation are registered charities, which means that bequests are deductible for estate tax purposes, subject to their country of residence.
