For many years Caldicott has looked to evolve and expand the way we do things, and this largely comes in the form of enhancing school facilities and expanding the number of bursaries offered. Our new Development Department has been working hard over the summer holidays, already establishing themselves as a key part of the school, and so our Development Director, Terra Goulden, would like to share with you the below note…

It is with immense pleasure that I introduce myself as the Director of Development for the Caldicott Foundation. Having been in post for just over six months now, it has been a joy to work alongside such dedicated colleagues to establish the first Foundation Office. The parents and alumni that I have met thus far have been shining examples of kindness and generosity – I thank you for that! I am looking forward to meeting more of you in the months ahead.

I hope you will join me in welcoming the newest member of our small team, Sascha Clark-Jones, who is the new Development Assistant. Having joined us only a short while ago, Sascha has been instrumental in helping to implement some of the key operational elements for the work of the Foundation.

For over a century, Caldicott has stood as a beacon of excellence in education, nurturing the minds and spirits of young boys and preparing them for the world. As we look to the future, we aim to balance the pride of our rich history alongside our ambitions to be more forward thinking and innovative.

The formation of the Caldicott Foundation in 2020 by Mr Banks, was a first step in making more tangible this aim to realise a more noble ambition for the future of Caldicott.

At Caldicott, we believe that every boy, regardless of their background, should have the opportunity to benefit from our exceptional educational offerings. In the last decade alone, over 100 bursaries have been awarded. We take pride in continuing this important work to foster an environment where every talented student has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their financial circumstances. In the coming years, the Foundation is committed to making an even bigger impact in our community.

In addition to bursaries, the Foundation is actively engaged in creating a Masterplan that sensitively reimagines our school site. We recognise the importance of state-of-the-art facilities in enhancing the educational experience, and these projects are geared towards ensuring that we are equipped to meet the evolving needs of our students and faculty.

The aims, and ultimately, the impact of the Caldicott Foundation stretch far beyond the school gates. Our ambitions are an extension of the values we hold dear. As we strive to make a difference in the lives of young boys, we strive to play our part in shaping a better future. We invite you to join us on this inspiring journey.
