St Albans School stands as one of the world's oldest educational institutions, tracing its roots back to 948. Emerging from its humble beginnings as a monastic school, philanthropy has consistently been at the core of a St Albans School education.
Throughout its long history, the School has faced and triumphed over numerous challenges, especially in recent decades, where unforeseen circumstances have adversely affected families and livelihoods. Despite this, generations of benefactors have enabled us to provide a world-class education to deserving children from disadvantaged backgrounds at no cost to their families.
Thanks largely to the generosity of individual donors, 36 children are currently benefitting from a funded place. Of these children, twenty are fully funded and the remaining twelve have been awarded more than 40% of their fee.
Despite our successes, limited funding forces us to turn away some deserving children. However, fuelled by the inspiring desire of the next generation of benefactors. To learn more about our transformational bursaries, please contact our Development Department.
