Indoor Golf Facility and Strength & Conditioning Suite
St Leonards is on an exciting journey to establish a state-of-the-art Indoor Golf Facility and Strength & Conditioning Suite. This development will not only nurture athletic talent but also inspire a lifelong passion for sport among our pupils, aligning with our commitment to academic and athletic excellence.
This project presents an opportunity to transform our current facilities, offering a cutting-edge environment for golf training, athletic performance, and overall wellbeing. With our 150th anniversary on the horizon, this initiative is more than just a building, it’s a legacy that will benefit our students today and for generations to come.
We invite you to join us in bringing this vision to life. Your generous donations will play a crucial role in realising this dream, creating a vibrant and thriving sporting community at St Leonards. Donate today to make a lasting impact on the future of our school and pupils.

Sponsor a Seat
We have recently embarked on an exciting programme to redevelop our much loved Music School Auditorium, a core performing arts space, first opened by Princess Alexandra in 1987, which serves as a hub for our young people, staff, and the wider community. The project has both enhanced the space and increased its capacity from 95 to 116 with stylish new seating.
To build on the success of this transformative project, a Sponsor a Seat campaign was launched, seeking 116 sponsors, each of whom have the opportunity to be associated with a beautiful velvet seat in the newly-redeveloped auditorium.
A donation of £300 will secure sponsorship for a seat in the Music School Auditorium, recognising your contribution for generations to come. In return, we will place a personalised inscription of up to 34 characters onto your seat. For further information and to sponsor a seat, please contact sponsoraseat@stleonards-fife.org.

Your Support
Support from our generous donors over the years has allowed for the creation of the Science buildings, the refurbishment of our boarding houses, and the restoration of the iconic Clock Tower Chimes in 2012.
Donations have also provided significant support for the Bursary Fund, which allows means-tested fee remissions and ensures a St Leonards education is accessible to as many young people as possible.

Leaving a Legacy
Leaving a legacy to St Leonards is possibly the greatest gift you can make to the School, helping to shape the lives of future generations of Seniors and providing significant benefit to the community and campus.
Since our foundation in 1877, St Leonards has benefited enormously from the generosity of its alumni and of its Friends: past parents, colleagues and others who have remembered our school in their wills.
Making a bequest is simple to do, although we do recommend seeking professional legal advice. A legacy can either be included in a new will or added as a codicil to an existing will. It will be free from inheritance tax and capital gains tax.
To inform us that you have left – or indeed plan to leave – a gift to St Leonards in your will, please contact The Seniors Office at seniors@stleonards-fife.org or write to us at:
The Seniors Office, St Leonards School, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9QJ
