Development Team

Tim Edge

I joined Wilson’s as Director of Development in 2018, having previously worked in a similar capacity at several notable independent schools. I set the development strategy for the school and am a member of the Wilson’s Associate Leadership Team. Wilson’s is a world class school that generates a huge amount of goodwill. It is the job of my office to realise this goodwill in a financial context. With Will Straw’s support, I drove a successful fundraising campaign which has enabled the construction of new £3.5m music and sports facilities that opened in January 2023.

Will Straw

I’ve been working alongside Tim Edge at Wilson’s since joining the Development Office in June 2021. As Assistant Director of Development, my role is centred on community fundraising, alumni engagement & digital marketing. Launching Wolf Salient (a termly e-newsletter to keep our alumni better connected) and delivering the inaugural Wilson’s Giving Day in 2022 – which raised £135,536 to help fit out our new building with sports and music equipment – stand out as highlights. I’m an Old Wilsonian myself (2018) and am looking to enhance the school’s alumni offering further. If you have any alumni-related queries or ideas, please email me – it’s always great to hear from OWs about what they are up to!
