Bursaries
We open doors to education for talented students who need financial support. Through our bursary programme, we help children thrive academically and personally, giving them the tools to succeed at Knightsbridge School and beyond.
What We Provide
- School fees covered, along with uniforms, lunches, and residential trips, ensuring every child can fully take part in school life.
- Opportunities beyond the classroom, including music lessons, art programmes, and extracurricular activities, tailored to each student’s strengths and interests.
- Guidance for the future, whether continuing to GCSEs at Knightsbridge School or securing places at top independent schools.
Who We Support
We award bursaries to students who show strong academic promise and personal qualities such as leadership, resilience, and kindness. A financial assessment ensures we reach the families who need it most.

Outreach Programmes
We work closely with our local community to give more children the chance to grow, learn, and experience more. Through long-term partnerships with Ashburnham Community Primary School and Marlborough Primary School, we provide practical support that makes a real difference.
How We Make a Difference
Prioritising Mental Health and Well-being
Through Place2Be and AllChild, we provide emotional and therapeutic support for children facing challenges in their mental health.
Ensuring Every Child Experiences More
We fund school trips so no child is left behind. In 2019, we made sure every Year 5 and 6 pupil at Ashburnham and Marlborough could join their residential journeys. These experiences build confidence, strengthen friendships, and create lasting memories.
Getting Books into Children’s Hands
We’ve restocked Marlborough’s school library, leading to a 30% rise in reading levels. More children than ever are developing strong literacy skills and a love for books.
Bringing Art and Music to More Children
We fund art therapy sessions at Marlborough for children who need extra support. Students from partnering schools also benefit from extracurricular classes at Knightsbridge School, helping them discover and develop their talents.
Helping Pupils Take Pride in Sport
We helped Marlborough students design and fund their own sports kits, boosting participation and enthusiasm for school sports. Since then, engagement in sports events has soared, and pupils feel a real sense of pride representing their school.
