Welcome to the Development Fund

Legacies

The school is here today as a result of a bequest for the establishment of a school in Northampton by Thomas
Chipsey in 1541.

Leaving a bequest in your will is one of the most special
ways of supporting Northampton School for Boys.
We understand that decisions such as this are very
personal and that when making your will, first and
foremost, the interests of your dependants must be considered.

However if you do feel that you would like to consider
making a bequest. Please contact the Development
Director at the school. All bequests to the school are
exempt from inheritance tax (currently 40% on estates
valued in excess of £275,000) and will be treated with
the strictest confidence.

In principle it is possible to direct your bequest to a
specific purpose (such as a capital project). If you are interested in this please contact the Development Office.
