Supporting Bloxham’s delivery of a balanced curriculum and promoting a passion for learning, gifts dedicated to the curriculum enable the School to maintain its first-class teaching and to introduce new subjects, teach new skills and deliver wide experiences. This in turn fosters creativity and the capacity for dynamic and critical thought and inspires curiosity, rigour and ambition.
We must ensure that our curriculum develops and evolves to meet the needs of future Bloxhamists so that they can, in turn, maintain the Bloxham tradition of succeeding in the ‘business of life’ and working with, and for, the benefit of others.
The Pittaway Music Fund is a wonderful example of how a gift (in the memory of OB Michael Pittaway, donated by his family) can enhance the academic provision of Bloxham, in this case in music, while also helping bursary pupils. The School worked with Michael’s family to create a programme which reflected his love of music and helped to develop a life-long love of music in many Bloxhamists.
