Pupils at the Dragon School in Oxford are being given philanthropy lessons. As its fees for a year’s education are more than £20,000 a year, the headmaster argues that many are likely to be in positions of leadership.
He wants to encourage ‘responsibility beyond their own self-interest’. If the lessons help his school pass the Charity Commission’s new ‘public benefit’ test, that is simply a handy, tax-deductible, by-product and one that won’t force the establishment to offer places to any students whose parents don’t have the required assets.
