The Timothy Pruss Memorial School is situated near Inungur in Tamil Nadu, South India. It is named after the beloved son of Mary and the late Dr Tony Pruss. Tim died aged 18 in 2005, shortly after leaving Chigwell School. TPMS is largely funded by the Bede Griffiths Charitable Trust. It provides a unique opportunity for the children of poor families in the area to learn in both Tamil and English, the latter giving them the opportunity to get better jobs and enabling them and their families to break out of poverty.
