CHANGING LIVES TARGET ACHIEVED three YEARS EARLY!

Our vision was made a reality by the help of our friends and supporters

The award-winning Changing Lives campaign launched in 2014 and has supported 92 bursary students to date. To celebrate the school’s 350 anniversary in 2025 we set ourselves a target of having 50 fully-funded Changing Lives bursary students in the school at any one time.

Thanks to our amazing community we achieved our target three years early!

Changing Lives of those whose potential is far greater than their financial means…

The aim of the dedicated 1675 Bursary Fund is to produce sufficient income to support a wider range of deserving pupils through immediate bursarial support.

Inspired by the philosophy of our founders, we recognise that such benefaction enriches our school, enhances academic standards, is socially inclusive, and widens educational opportunity.

RGS GAVE ME THE SUPERB EDUCATION MY PARENTS COULD NOT HAVE AFFORDED. I’VE NEVER FORGOTTEN THAT... SO I DECIDED TO GIVE A BURSARY TO A FIRST YEAR STUDENT AND I HOPE IT GIVES HER SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES RGS GAVE TO ME.
