The Kingswood 10 for 1 Bursary Fund

THE POWER OF COLLECTIVE GIVING MAKES THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE Kingswood School introduced the 10 for 1 Bursary scheme in 2018 and currently has two day pupils fully funded from Year 7 – Year 13.

‘Receiving the 10 to 1 award came at a time when we were considering if we could continue on at Kingswood. This would have been a sad and difficult decision to have to make especially as we have a long history with the school. Receiving the award has had a huge impact on my child's wellbeing and confidence. It has given them a greater sense of purpose and a determination to succeed knowing that other families are committed to their future through this award. One of Kingswood's greatest strengths is its unique community values which are demonstrated by the school's desire to actively contribute to each family in a meaningful way. This award reinforces those values so wonderfully and it is one of the many reasons we are so proud to be at Kingswood.’

One 100% transformational Bursary for a Sixth Former

The 10 for 1 Bursary Fund is focussing on life-changing fully funded bursaries for both day pupils and boarders in the Sixth Form. Gifts of between £12 and £200 per month (depending on a day or boarding place and the number of people gifting) for two years will cover the full cost for their two years in the Sixth Form. A single gift covering the full cost would also be welcomed. ‘A single gift on its own is amazing but, joined with others, that gift becomes infinitely more powerful. The 10 for 1 Bursary Fund at Kingswood School is truly transformational and provides life-changing opportunities for a young person who otherwise would not have the benefit of a Kingswood education and all that it offers. The 1994 leavers are committed to funding one 10 for 1 Bursary from our leaving year and invite other years to do the same.’
