The Lilian Brake Legacy Society

Leave a Lasting Legacy at Ashford School

Join the Lilian Brake Legacy Society

Named after the beloved Headmistress of Ashford Girls’ School, Miss Lilian Brake (1928-1955), the Lilian Brake Legacy Society honours those who have made a significant and enduring impact on our school.

Why leave a legacy?

  • Make a lasting difference: ensure your generosity supports Ashford School for generations to come.
  • Enjoy tax benefits: all such bequests can be made free from Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax, reducing the overall burden on your estate.
  • Support a cause you care about: help us provide exceptional education and opportunities for our students.

How to join:

  • Make a bequest: leave a designated gift to the School in your will.
  • Donate to our bursary fund: support deserving students in achieving their educational goals.
  • Contribute to capital projects: help us enhance our facilities and resources.

Recent legacies have ranged from a few hundred pounds to a collection of books to a whole estate.

For more information or to discuss your legacy options, please contact Hannah at the Alumni and Development Office: development@ashfordschool.co.uk

"Thinking in centuries, rather than years..."

“I loved my time at Ashford under Miss Brake and made many friends who I still see.

I’m delighted that new generations of pupils are being given such a great start in life. Thinking in centuries, rather than years, must be in our minds when we consider the future of the School.

Small though our individual legacies may be their collective impact underpins the Ashford School of today.

I’m leaving something to support our School’s future. How about you?”
