Whether you decide to leave a specific amount or a percentage of your estate, we are extremely grateful.
As a registered charity in England and Wales, all UK legacies made to the School are exempt from Inheritance Tax and the value of any gift left in your will is deducted from the value of the estate before it is assessed for Inheritance Tax, reducing tax liability.
"I was a ‘Scholarship girl’ in the 1960s through the direct grant scheme. I would not otherwise have been able to attend St Helen’s and my life may have taken a lesser path.
The School helped me to discover and develop my talents, and I gained an ability to express myself with a confidence which has never left me. By leaving a legacy in my will, I hope that another girl, sometime in the future, will be able to discover herself, as I did."
Myra Jones (1968 leaver)

"In the 1950s I was fortunate, having passed the 11+ exam, to attend St Helen's as a day girl.
With gratitude for the education and care I received, I have left a gift to the school in my Will, so that other pupils will benefit in the future. "
