The 1552 Legacy Society

Making a planned gift in your Will, large or small, establishes a living legacy and a benefit to young people and the life of Shrewsbury School reaching beyond your lifetime - a bond which lives in perpetuity.

We will work in partnership with you to direct your support in precisely the manner you wish, and provide you with the opportunity to connect with the life of the School today, joining our global community of alumni, parents, friends and supporters.

The Shrewsbury School Foundation is a charity registered in England and Wales (number 528415). All legacy gifts made to the Shrewsbury School Foundation are exempt from UK Inheritance and Capital Gains Taxes.

Your Estate can also pay inheritance tax at a reduced rate of 36% on some assets if you leave 10% or more of its 'net value' to the Shrewsbury School Foundation in your Will (the net value is the Estate's total value minus any debts).

We recognise legators during their lifetime through membership of The 1552 Legacy Society, so called in recognition of the School's year of foundation by Royal Charter.

Please contact The Development Office to discuss your intentions so that we can ensure that your specific wishes can be honoured. Further information can be found in our legacy brochure.
