Donation Governorship
Assuming you had the spare cash, would you consider becoming a donation governor to the school?

Absolutely - although not until I'm old. Having put 4 kids through school I'm still suffering and until I've forgotten the pain of that, I don't feel like doing it again - so to speak. But CH, for better or worse, helped to make me who I am, and I certainly benefitted from being there - so yes - I would love to inflict that one some little unsuspecting youth some day....

I suspect it is not quite so much. Even with a presentation from a governor, the child's parents are still means tested and have to pay "contributions".soc wrote:I wish I had £20k per year available so that I could some child the chance to experience the school..

No I am not a Governor, don't know where you got that idea. It is something I would love to do but as with other parents here can't yet. I give far more money to CH than to my Oxford college - even though as one of the former women's colleges it is not one of the richest. I think CH as an institution is far more worthy of support.englishangel wrote:Is Katharine not a governor? Perhap we should ask her.
