Why I Give
“We donate to the KSEF because we feel it is time to give back. We have been very lucky in our lives and we strongly believe that education is the best way to give back to those in need. All our children attended KS and absolutely loved their experience. We feel that diversity will define the KS experience even more.”
From an ex-KS family who donates annually to the KSEF.
Since its inception in 2007, donors to the Knightsbridge School Education Foundation have enabled 17 local children to achieve exceptional results at Knightsbridge School. The KSEF has also contributed to their future schools funding.
How to Apply
The KSEF provides scholarships and bursaries to talented pupils whose family financial circumstances would not otherwise enable them to attend fee-paying private schools.

This is a short clip of one KSEF’s bursary students, Gvantsa Gvazabia, a well rounded and enthusiastic musician who plays the piano, the violin, plays in the school’s string ensemble and sings in the choir.
A recent testimony from our first Student...
Dear Mr Eddis and the KSEF Trustees,
I am writing to express my gratitude for all you’ve done for me over the past 5 years. This has been a truly once in a lifetime type of experience that i have you to thank for. It’s been a long journey and rather arduous at times, however I am glad as the lessons I’ve learnt have made me into the man I am today. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Mr Magoo, Mr Robin BT and the amazing team who helped me during my time at King Edward’s. I wouldn’t have been able to enter this journey let alone complete it without all your help, thank you.
Kindest regards, AG.

In particular, our aims are to:

More generally, the Foundation will focus on promoting the personal development and education of people in the wider community. We will periodically review our activities to ensure we respond to the evolving nature of current needs.
