The money will fund the purchase and restoration of Holt Hall, near Gresham’s School, where Sir James boarded from the age of nine.

Set in 85 acres, Holt Hall will house state-of-the-art facilities for pupils aged seven to 13.

Sir James said he was “forever grateful” for the generosity Gresham’s showed when his father Alec Dyson, who taught classics there, died at the age of 43.

Sir James said he was “pleased to be able to support the school and to see it shaping incredible young people who go on and flourish”.

“We will also restore the Victorian building and protect the surrounding ancient woodland for Gresham’s pupils to discover and learn in, adding state-of-the-art facilities,” Sir James said.

The headmaster at Gresham’s, Douglas Robb, said the donation represented a “once-in-a-generation opportunity to rescue Holt Hall and breathe new life into its grounds”.
