Thank you to everyone who has applied for the Clerk to the Trustees role at the Fowey Grammar School Foundation.

We’ve been genuinely overwhelmed by the level of interest and the quality of applications received. As a result, we’re no longer accepting new applications.

The Trustees are now carefully reviewing all submissions and will be in touch with applicants as soon as possible, once everyone has been given due consideration.

Thank you again for your interest and support.

**Clerk to the Trustees vacancy**

After more than 28 years of dedicated service, our Clerk, Mike Kotwinski, will be stepping down from his role.

The Trustees would like to express their sincere thanks to Mike for his long-standing commitment and the invaluable contribution he has made to the work of the charity over nearly three decades.

The Foundation is therefore seeking to appoint a new Clerk to the Trustees, starting in April 2026, with a handover period during March, to ensure continuity and the ongoing smooth running of the charity’s work.

If you feel this position may be of interest, full details of the role including how to apply can be found on our website at the following link — https://foweygrammarschoolfoundation.org/news/clerk-to-the-trustees-vacancy

***Success Story***

In addition to the education grants awarded to university students, we also provide equipment grants, often to students pursuing vocational courses who require specialised equipment for their studies or for other educational purposes, such as field trips.

Last year, Cumara Stevens had the opportunity to visit the Mpala Research Centre in northern Kenya as part of her second year zoology degree.

The foundation agreed to award Cumara an equipment grant to support her trip, and she returned with a fantastic overview of her time in Kenya.
