“Without the bursary award, I would not have been able to attend Trinity and, in turn, get into Cambridge.”

MAHDEIA’S

STORY

– Trinity Bursary Fund Recipient 2020 – 2022

Iam incredibly grateful for my time at Trinity – I thoroughly enjoyed every second here. Until then, I had never experienced such dedicated teachers or the positive work ethic that was apparent in every lesson at Trinity.

I had wanted to go here ever since I visited Trinity when I was in year 5 with my primary school. However, there were two main hurdles – first, I was a girl and would have to wait until the sixth form, and second, the cost of attending an independent school.

I waited anxiously for the email that confirmed I had been awarded a bursary. Without that award, I would not have been able to attend Trinity and, in turn, get into Cambridge.

Attending Trinity has taught me so much. Alongside my academic subjects, I could try as many extra-curricular activities as I wanted in a welcoming and safe environment. I loved learning to sing and joining the professional-level choirs, planning star-gazing evenings for the lower school, and being able to try out squash.

My main worry before joining

Trinity was the other students. I was concerned about their different financial backgrounds and I wasn’t sure if I would be able to relate to them. I hadn’t realised that many students in the sixth form come from state schools and we were all just young adults with similar interests.

Everyone was supportive of each other and I felt very close to my classmates, who are now some of my best friends. I never felt disadvantaged by being a bursary student or because I had been at a state school. It simply didn’t matter. My teachers were more than willing to help and, with the extra lessons they provided, I quickly adjusted and came to love Trinity.

On our first day at Trinity, Ms Geldeard said she hoped that sixth form would be an enjoyable experience despite its challenges. I can proudly say that, for me, it was the most enjoyable and rewarding part of my education. n

I am incrediblythankful for the bursary scheme, which made a huge impact on my life. I know that it will continue to change the future of many students.more

Disrupting The Pattern

DISRUPTING

THE PATTERN

The bursary I received from Trinity changed my life. The school encouraged my inquisitiveness and love of words-which I have used to build a career as a journalist.

– Alexis Akwagyiram (1997)

Trinity Bursary Recipient

FEWER THAN 50% OF 16 TO 18-YEAROLDS IN THE BOROUGH OF CROYDON TAKE A LEVELS.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE LESS TALENTED OR ACADEMICALLY ABLE THAN THE CHILDREN OF OTHER BOROUGHS, BUT IT DOES DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY HAVE LESS OPPORTUNITY.

BOTH BROMLEY AND SUTTON HAVE SELECTIVE GRAMMAR SCHOOLS

WHICH GREATLY INCREASE THE CHANCE OF STUDENTS REACHING A TOP UNIVERSITY, CROYDON DOES NOT.

PATTERN

Not taking the bursary for granted has formed part of my drive to achieve academically, as well as to make the most of every opportunity that arises.

FEWER THAN 8% OF STUDENTS IN CROYDON WILL HAVE ACCESS TO A RUSSELL GROUP UNIVERSITY.

CAN

THIS

BY

Receiving such an outstanding education as a result of Trinity’s bursary scheme is the reason for my being where I am today. Trinity effortlessly provides an environment that allows students from all backgrounds and walks of life to feel like they are equally valued members of a fantastic community of learning.

BY OFFERING BURSARY FUNDING AND A PLACE AT TRINITY, WE

MULTIPLY

OPPORTUNITY

12.5 TIMES.

DISPLACED COMMUNITIES

At Trinity, we have a long history of supporting refugees and their families through our bursary fund. Education allows them to make roots in the UK and to establish themselves, despite having no means to afford a school like Trinity.

John Placek’s mother fled the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. She arrived at Liverpool Street Station with no family, network, or money. She worked as an au pair, married a fellow Czech refugee, but couldn’t visit her family in Czechoslovakia for more than 10 years.

John came to Trinity on a bursary, and his son has now come to study here. John’s bursary gave him a huge opportunity and he has shared the educational experience of a second-generation migrant from a refugee background.

Watch the full interview with John here:

It was an opportunity we didn’t think would be available to people like us.

– John Placek (2004) Trinity Bursary Recipient

– Alexis Akwagyiram (1997) Trinity Bursary Recipient

My background was very different to that of my classmates. My parents were asylum-seekers who fled a coup in Ghana only a decade before I began at Trinity.

THE TRINITY BURSARY FUND IS A KEY ENGINE OF DIVERSITY, SOCIAL MOBILITY AND EDUCATIONAL ASPIRATION WITHIN THE LONDON BOROUGH OF CROYDON

The bursary support has helped me massively. Without it, a lot of people like me would not have the opportunity to come to a school like Trinity where there are amazing opportunities available to you.

– Gabriel Ibitoye (2016) Trinity Bursary Recipient

LOCAL COMMUNITIES

The Rowdown Inspire to Aspire Foundation has been set up to inspire children in Croydon to aspire to something big, something extra and to support them in their aspirations.

Croydon is ranked as the most deprived of all the South London boroughs. In terms of Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI), it is ranked 78 out of 317 boroughs across the whole country.

Over the past few years, the Rowdown Foundation has developed its Tuition Programme to provide academically able pupils in Croydon primary schools with extra lessons in Maths and English to prepare them for

11+ entrance exams for selective and semi-selective state, grammar and independent schools.

In 2017, Trinity took over the tuition for around 50 primary school pupils a year, both boys and girls. The school pays the teachers and provides all the books, equipment, and refreshments for two hours every Saturday morning.

We have been able to offer Trinity bursaries to eight pupils from the Rowdown Foundation programme. It is a community initiative in every sense.

rowdownfoundation.org.uk

I believe strongly that independent schools such as Trinity have an important role to play in their broader communities.

Michael Shallcross

Bursary funds like Trinity’s have the potential to be one of the key engines for diversity and social mobility, and creating a private education sector truly reflective of our community.

Trinity Primary Partner Schools programme

One of the toughest aspects of bursary support is simply ensuring that the right students know that it is something we offer. The American activist for civil rights and children’s rights, Marian Wright Edelman famously said: “You can’t be what you can’t see”. This understanding is now at the heart of our work with our local schools.

Our new Trinity Primary Partner Schools programme, launched officially this year, allows us to form much closer ties with a more limited number of local primaries. With these schools, we are building deeper relationships and welcoming local children into Trinity more consistently.

We hope that regular engagement with activities such as STEM days, photographic and sporting competitions, musical concerts and plays will help these students understand that Trinity is a place where they can thrive and, crucially, where they will be welcomed, whatever their means.

This programme also allows us to form stronger relationships with the

- Tuki Rounds Senior Deputy Head

teachers in these primary schools by offering free professional development, subject-specialist advice, and by curating professional links. In turn, we hope this will encourage them to discuss the educational opportunities that Trinity can offer with their suitable families.

In time, we hope that students offered bursary places in this way will assist their former schools as role models and that, ultimately, they might give back once they are established in successful careers. n

Our goal is for the Trinity Primary Partner Schools programme to be an engine of educational aspiration which, supported by the Trinity Bursary Fund, shows young people in Croydon that there is a place for them in our community and a successful future ahead.

Ian Marchant Class of 1979

The bursary scheme, with its focus on diversity and access for all, is an important way of achieving equal opportunities and social mobility and allows those of us who had the privilege of a great education to pay it forward to tomorrow’s leaders.

Marcia Buxton Parent, School Governor and Chair of TPA

I am excited about what the Trinity Bursary Fund means for any young person - the possibilities that are created, the difference it makes for them and their family, and more broadly. Can you imagine who that young person may become through this opportunity? That’s why I support the fundit makes such a difference.

Mike Hodson Class of 1978

My brothers and I are truly grateful for the time we spent at Trinity. I am pleased to support the Trinity Bursary Fund, which enables students from diverse backgrounds to benefit from the excellent teaching and facilities provided by the school.

Drawn from across our Trinity community, this group of philanthropists, business leaders and experts will help to deliver our goal that 1in5 students attend Trinity School on a means-tested bursary.

CHAIR OF BOARD

Mike Leonard Class of 1988 and Parent

It’s my privilege to support the Trinity Bursary Fund and I’d encourage everyone else to follow my lead. Trinity changed my life. I’m very happy to help change someone else’s life in return.

My passion is opening access to high-quality education for every student with potential, regardless of financial means.

I benefitted enormously from my time at Trinity 50 years ago. It is a pleasure and duty to help others to benefit from a first-class education

Catherine and Danny Wilding Parents

Many of the most positive aspects of our boys’ education and development at Trinity have been driven by the diversity of the student body. Supporting the fund helps to ensure this diversity can continue for the benefit of all current and future students.

Ian Yeulett Parent

I am delighted to support the Trinity Bursary Fund. After seeing what Trinity has done for our son and daughter, to be able to support other students to realise their potential in an exciting and diverse environment is one of the best feelings you can have.

THANK YOU

Many of us in the alumni and parent communities take Trinity’s commitment to social inclusivity for granted. When I was here, my friends came from all over Croydon, lived in every conceivable home, from social housing to a lovely semi or detached house.

Many years later, while reflecting on the biggest positive influence I had from my school days, I concluded that it was my school friends. They represented a cross-section of economic backgrounds and differing world views, and that early exposure to a broad spectrum of experience helped me build a successful career in the City, where relationship-building is everything.

In my new role as the Director of Development, I can pay forward all the opportunities that being a Trinity School student gave me. Cost-of-living increases affect us all, but they disproportionally impact our bursary families.

While the economic situation may affect the ability of some or our community to support the bursary fund when it is most needed, collectively we need to ensure that the disparity between those who have and those who don’t doesn’t grow wider. Talent is spread equally among our community, but opportunity is not. Thanks to your support we can extend access to a first-class education to more children with talent. n

Talent is spread equally among our community, but opportunity is not. Thanks to your support, we can extend access to a first-class education to more children with talent.

Jason Court, Director of Development

THANK YOU

Iam very grateful for your continued and generous support of the Trinity Bursary Fund over the past year.

The economic problems that the UK is experiencing are increasing demand on our bursary programme and, while the downturn affects everybody, it has a disproportionate impact on our existing bursary families and on our ability to support children who need bursary awards to access a Trinity education.

Our bursary programme helps break down the gulf in educational opportunity that has grown between those who have and those who do not, providing a channel for social mobility among lower income families in Croydon, and keeping the school a diverse, inclusive community.

The impact of your support on all our students at Trinity is immediately apparent in the day-to-day life of the school and is appreciated enormously. n

Our bursary programme helps break down the enormous gulf in educational opportunity that has grown between those who have and those who do not.
