MICHAELHOUSE IMPACT REPORT 2025 FINAL

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MICHAELHOUSE TRUSTS

It is a privilege to introduce the second Impact Report, which reflects more than a decade of intentional progress in how Michaelhouse serves and supports its wider community. The last report was published in 2022 following the establishment of the Development Office Michaelhouse has long been a School that cares deeply about people and community. For many years, this commitment found expression through a wide range of initiatives – pastoral, environmental, educational, and charitable – driven by dedicated individuals and groups across the School, Old Boys, and the surrounding Midlands community. Much good work was done, but it was often dispersed rather than held within a single, coherent framework. Over time, it became clear that if we were to steward the School responsibly for generations to come, our impact work needed to be aligned to a long term vision. This Report therefore reflects not only operational progress, but our deliberate alignment with the Michaelhouse Generational Plan - the roadmap that guides how we sustain, strengthen, and future proof the School. The Generational Plan challenges us to think beyond the immediate and to act with foresight. It calls for careful governance, disciplined financial stewardship, and purposeful investment in people, infrastructure, and community partnerships. Our impact initiatives now sit firmly within this framework. They are no longer standalone efforts, but part of a broader strategy to ensure that Michaelhouse remains relevant, resilient, and faithful to its founding ethos for decades to come. As Chairman of the Trusts, I am encouraged by how closely our work is now integrated with the School’s governance structures and long-term financial planning. The Trusts exist not only to provide funding, but to safeguard sustainability across generations. This transparency enables us to measure progress, celebrate what has been achieved, and remain clear eyed about where further commitment is required. This is not a destination, but an ongoing responsibility. The Generational Plan reminds us that stewardship is a long game. This Report stands as both a record of progress and a renewed commitment to build wisely today for the benefit of those who will follow.

Anthony Hewat Chairman of the Michaelhouse Trusts
