 I am very happy to support Whitgift School. It is where I met my wife, then Mlle Veronique Le Droff, forty years ago, and where I have been so happy to help out this year as interim headmaster. It is a fantastic school, with the capacity to change so many lives for the better.

 I am 85, and live in NZ having emigrated from 🇬🇧 in 1962. I have been grateful for my education at Whitgift as compared to my brother who was a boarder at Epsom. Initially I was jealous of his “public school” but I settled in very well to my land of choice, much quicker than had I gone to Epsom PS

 A chance to support others less fortunate to be able to benefit from a Whitgift experience. The student diversity is one of Whitgift's great strengths, and anything that ensures that continues is worthwhile.

 My son Nile White attended the school (class '23) and he had an amazing time. He was challenged academically, discovered new pursuits and has made some life long friends among the pupils and the staff. I support more boys (esp. underprivileged) being given the opportunity that he enjoyed.
