Last Thursday, JAGS welcomed members of the 1741 Club to our first ever 1741 Club Benefactors’ Reception, an evening dedicated to honouring the remarkable generosity that strengthens the JAGS Bursary Fund and enriches life at our school. Hosted by Head Alex Hutchinson and the Development & Alumnae Relations Department, the event brought together members of our community whose commitment continues to provide life transforming opportunities for so many JAGS students. The Prissian Theatre was transformed into a Spring day full of blooms for the occasion with guests enjoying a wonderful selection of canapes and drinks including the special 1741 Club cocktail and mocktail. 

We were especially moved by the inspiring words shared by our alumnae and former JAGS Bursary recipients Alison, Zen, Emily and Navi who spoke so powerfully about the life‑changing opportunities your donations have made possible for them.  It was also wonderful to hear from JAGS parent Katie Preusser about the ongoing commitment of the JAGS Parents’ Association, whose generous contributions further support the JAGS Bursary Fund.  Throughout the evening, performances by our talented students brought additional joy and energy, showcasing the creativity, confidence and spirit that thrive within our school community.

Our sincere thanks go to everyone who helped make the evening so special—speakers, performers, guests, and the many hands behind the scenes.

The continued support of our 1741 Club members is deeply appreciated.  If you would be interested in joining the 1741 Club or exploring match funding giving options through the business you work in, please click here or email Karen Doyle, Head of Development & Alumnae Relations, on karen.doyle@jags.org.uk.  No donation to join the 1741 Club is too small. Together, we can ensure that a JAGS education is accessible to exceptional students, regardless of financial circumstance. Every gift—large or small—makes a meaningful difference. Thank you…
