Our Third Century

Every year, bright young people miss out on a King’s education - not because of ability, but because of financial means.
We believe that must change.

Our Third Century is about opening up excellence to all, and becoming a need-blind school in the next 100 years. With your support, we can accelerate that future and bring that day forward.

As we approach our 200th anniversary in 2029, we aim to raise £29 million to:

WHY BURSARIES?

Because an education at King ’ s changes everything

EXCELLENCE FOR ALL

Excellence for all means that every pupil at King’s can access and benefit from an outstanding education, regardless of background. At King’s they will build confidence, aspiration and belonging so when the time is right they will strike out in the world beyond school and lead purposeful lives in their own way. We will provide the academic support where needed, where curiosity can deepen and, empathy grows.

SOCIAL MOBILITY

Bursaries remove the single biggest barrier, financial access. Social mobility is not decided at 18, it is shaped much earlier, disadvantaged pupils are significantly less likely to progress to top universities, a bursary intervenes at a critical moment. We identify high-potential pupils who will thrive and give them a platform to succeed, enabling them to contribute fully to society.

ECONOMIC GROWTH

Every £1 invested in a King’s bursary delivers long-term economic and social value, it unlocks an economic lifetime value not just for one pupil and their family but for the wider community. When you fund a bursary you are not covering fees, you are unlocking a lifetime of contribution; economic, social and human.
