Why leave a legacy to the Foundation?

When George Watson left his legacy in 1723 he made his aims clear. He sought academic excellence and the creation of an environment where young minds hungry for knowledge could flourish. But he was also determined that children from less advantaged backgrounds should be able to enjoy the quality of education available to those more fortunate. This tradition lives on today and your support is vital. With your assistance we will be able to help more young people to achieve their full potential.

If you intend to leave a legacy to the School please use the online Pledge facility and the Development Office will contact you soon. If you wish to amend your Will, you can download a Codicil document (PDF, 150kB) from this web page. Download our Legacy literature (PDF, 125kB) for further information.

Anyone who pledges a legacy to the Foundation will be invited to join the Caritas Society and to attend an annual event at Watson's, such as the Art Exhibition.

Your decision now will influence future generations.
