Annual Fund
Support Us
Investing in Worth’s heart and soul.
The Annual Fund plays a vital role in enriching every aspect of our students’ experience – academically, across the co-curricular programme and throughout daily school life. Thanks to the generosity of our community in previous years, every child at the School has benefitted from enhanced opportunities and resources.
This year, our priorities include enhancing the sporting experience with new rugby posts, installing picnic benches around the site to foster community, a bespoke display cabinet for Design and Technology and advancing the Art and Photography curricula with new iPads for digital art and updated equipment for photography. We invite you to consider making a gift to the Annual Fund, whether in support of these specific projects or to the fund in general. Your support, at any level, will be deeply appreciated and will make a meaningful difference for all our students.
Over recent years, support from parents and alumni has enabled us to make significant improvements – including new Science labs which opened for use in September, new machinery in Design and Technology and an upgrade for the Hub, our Learning Enhancement Centre. These enhancements are more than physical upgrades; they are investments in the heart and soul of our School, fostering an environment where students can thrive, discover their passions and nurture their talents.
Please take a moment to look through the projects below for the 2025-26 Annual Fund. Your support will help Worth to thrive and grow and respond to the needs of our expanding community.
Thank you for your consideration and support. All gifts are meaningful, gratefully received and collectively transformational.

Art and Photography:
Class Set of iPads (£14,100)

Creative Futures: Empowering Art Students Through Digital Access and Engagement seeks support from the Annual Fund to transform the student experience in the Visual Arts by providing a class set of 22 iPads. This investment will give art students access to industry-standard digital tools for drawing, design, animation and portfolio development, supporting both creative exploration and professional readiness.
By expanding digital access, integrating contemporary tools into core modules and enabling students to build digital portfolios for internships and exhibitions, this initiative will foster inclusion, flexibility and collaboration. The iPads will also support remote and hybrid learning, encourage group projects and facilitate digital art showcases, ultimately increasing student engagement, improving digital literacy and ensuring greater equity in access to creative resources. Funding this project through the Annual Fund will directly enhance achievement and align our programme with the expectations of today’s creative industries.

Art Sculpture Trail (£2,500)

We are seeking to grow and promote the Sculpture Art Trail – a creative outdoor project that brings art into nature on the Worth grounds. This trail will showcase student artwork on vinyl-wrapped aluminium plates, along with rotating exhibitions of photography and mixed media. Each year, gold, silver and bronze prizes will be awarded to outstanding entries, which will be displayed on weatherproof materials for everyone to enjoy. The project aims to make art more accessible, celebrate our students’ talent and encourage public engagement. It offers valuable learning opportunities and creates a welcoming space where art and nature come together for the benefit of the whole community.
