Twyford School is a registered charity. As such, all fee income is carefully re-invested to provide the best education possible, as well as to enrich all aspects of academic, cultural and sporting life at the School.
However, Twyford is not richly endowed and our carefully managed fee income does not cover all we would like to do, nor provide sufficient funds for many of the enhancements that make Twyford School unique.
Thus, Twyford relies upon the continued generosity of Old Twyfordians and parents to supplement fee income, as it has done for more than a century.
In the absence of a current capital project the teaching and boarding staff at Twyford have identified ten projects across the academic, sporting and cultural activities of the School that they believe will enhance learning and life at Twyford.
We would be most grateful if members of the Twyford Society – current and past parents, staff, governors and Old Twyfordians – would consider contributing towards, or part or fully sponsoring, one of the projects outlined below.
Thank you for your support.

The DT Department would like to purchase a Woodturning lathe and accessories.
Woodturning is a very popular and satisfying activity and stunning results are realistically achievable, even from a fairly young age.
It will be used for both project work and apprenticeships.

The purchase of three choral step risers would be a real asset to the Music Department. Ensuring all chorister's faces are visible, these would allow the School to stage the choir more effectively,
both for School events and especially when performing elsewhere. It would be particularly useful for the proposed 2012/13 tour.

The purchase of two fully adjustable tailor's dummies would benefit both the Art & Drama departments. For Art, they would aid the development of a fashion component to the art and design curriculum.
They would also be very useful for costume production for the various School Plays.

The Mulberry Pavilion is already proving a wonderful new resource for Twyford School. There remain a few carved name spaces still available, on a first come-first served basis,
to provide a permanent record of your family's association with the School. Funds will be allocated to the next significant fundraising project within the School.
