All donors who make gifts totalling £1,000 or more, (including any tax claimed by the Foundation as a direct result of the gift), will be eligible for election as a Member of the Foundation, by the Trustees.
Membership is for life. Members can attend and vote at general meetings of the Foundation and elect five of their number as Trustees. The two Trustees nominated by the School Governors and the Head Master are also Members of the Foundation.
