In 1594, Lady Anne Dacre established Emanuel School with a bequest of £300 to provide an education for 10 boys and 10 girls. From its foundation, legacies have played a major role in the development of the school and the generosity of our supporters is fundamental to our future.
With as little as one sentence of bequest language in your will, you can enable the school to meet the ever-changing challenges of teaching and learning, to widen access and to provide the very best learning opportunities and facilities for our pupils – both now and in the years to come.

It really made sense to me to mention Emanuel School in my will. After all, without the support and encouragement of teachers at the school, none of the things I’ve achieved in my life would have been possible.
– Markus Jaigirder (OE and Chair of the Governors)
When you have completed your estate plans, please fill in the 1594 Club membership form to join this exclusive group. Members will receive an invitation to our annual Club event hosted on site along with special member communications. Letting us know your plans will also allow us to ensure your wishes are met, and appropriate thanks and recognition can be made to you and your family.
Your donation
We appreciate donations of any size, and we commit to ensuring any gift is used carefully to support the long-term vision and goals of Emanuel.
Providing a written or verbal pledge to the school allows us to ensure your wishes are met, and appropriate thanks and recognition can be made to you and your family (as agreed with the donor). It also allows us an opportunity to explore areas that may be of particular interest, including establishing a named bursary or an investment in our estate.
A legacy gift of just 1% may allow you to not only take care of your family, but to make a huge difference to a young person’s education. As an example, a donation of £200,000 would be enough to pay for seven years’ education (including the cost of fees, uniform and sports kit, co-curricular activities, such as Music lessons, and school trips) for a single pupil. Your support can transform the life of a young person and his/her family.
Please contact Anna Van Es, Development Director, on development@emanuel.org.uk or 020 8870 4171 if you would like to discuss your gift.
Thank you for considering or making a meaningful and forward-thinking investment in Emanuel School’s future.
