Richard Henry (Prescott) Kerr Methodist College Belfast. Picture by Cliff Donaldson A past pupil of Methodist College Belfast has left the school a "transformational donation" of £13.5m in his will. Richard Henry (Prescott) Kerr was the youngest child of five from a "farming family" and boarded at Methody in the 1940s. He founded a business which specialised in the nutrients in agricultural feed. It is understood to be the largest donation in Methody's 156-year history. Scott Naismith explained in a video posted on the school's website that the school's governors agreed that "in keeping with his interests", that a proportion of the funds would be used for "the promotion of pupil mental health and wellbeing, improving the learning environment through contributions to capital development projects and enhancing the opportunities for pupils of modest means".
