Why do we need it?
- Blundell's has little endowment other than the land it stands on. To maintain its position as a leading school in the South West it needs to maximise income through gifts and legacies. This is a major part of Foundation activities.
- Maintenance and development of an accurate database allowing Old Blundellians and Friends of Blundell's to communicate with one another is a second major Foundation function.
- Provision of a fully manned point within Blundell's for visitors to refer to, and organising social events and gatherings at school, in other parts of the UK and overseas, are also Foundation responsibilities.
What will it do for you?
- Provide and maintain at no cost a web-enabled database allowing you to adjust your own entry and find contact details of other Old Blundellians or Friends of Blundell's.
- Keep you in touch with developments at Blundell's via this website and the annual magazine, the Blundell's Diary.
- Organise social gatherings such as reunions and dinners abroad, and keep you informed of events where there is a Blundell's presence, such as County Shows.
- Provide an immediate response to questions you may have about school functions, fixtures and happenings.
