Our bursary endowment
“Imagine a King’s where no exceptional pupil is prevented from
attending because of financial circumstances. A King’s where ability
and potential alone determine access. A King’s whose endowment
provides transformational excellence for all, for many generations yet
to come."
Dr Anne Cotton
Head
In 2025 we established the King’s College School Bursaries Foundation, an independent charity (no. 1213182) that will steward our funds raised for bursary support at the school, it will be our endowment by which we will fund bursaries forever.
For nearly 200 years, King’s has combined academic excellence with a commitment to opportunity. From its founding in 1829 through to the Surrey Scholars scheme in the 20 the century and the modern bursary programme established in the 1970s, philanthropy has consistently shaped the lives of pupils and the direction of the school.
Today, however, that legacy must evolve. King’s now has the opportunity to play an even greater role in driving social mobility through education. Our bursaryendowment is a strategic commitment to extending opportunity, removing barriers, and ensuring that the most talented pupils can benefit from a King’s education irrespective of financial means – providing excellence for all.
Our commitment to social mobility is a part of who we are, we now want to remain an enduring element of our future, forever. An investment in the endowment is an investment in the future education of our local community of talented young people.
