Leave a Lasting Gift

Leaving a legacy or a bequest to Great Sankey High School means you can make a difference to the lives that follow.

A legacy can be any amount, large or small but it will allow us to continue to provide outstanding education for future generations. If you would like to leave a gift to GSHS in your will then Rocks and Walsh (www.rocksandwalsh.co.uk) will be able to help and offer a discount for their will writing service (10%) for anyone who mentions us.

Alternatively you can complete our downloadable pledge form (click here) to help us plan our future work.

This is often the one time in people's lives when they can afford to make a donation to causes which are dear to them. The cost of raising a family nowadays very often leaves little cash to spare and, later in life, retirement brings with it the need to conserve cash outgoings. If you are fortunate enough to have a property or a capital sum invested, then provision can be made, by way of a legacy.

Tax Benefits

Leave a lasting legacy and benefit your estate at the same time.

There can be sound financial reasons why it makes sense to leave a legacy to Great Sankey High School in your Will.

If you own your own house, this could well mean that the value of your Estate will be above the Inheritance Tax threshold.

How to leave a legacy

If you wish to leave a legacy to us, you first have to decide the type of legacy you wish to leave. This can be a specific legacy, a pecuniary legacy or a residuary bequest.

It is helpful if bequests are made for the general charitable purposes of the school as this means your gift can be spent where it is most needed at the time it is received.

Further information about leaving a legacy can be obtained through a solicitor.

If you would like to help Great Sankey High School, then please remember us in your Will.

In appreciation of your support, a Memory Wall is inscribed every year with the names of all those who have kindly left us a bequest.
