Support Us

At Warwick School, we understand that everything we have today is thanks to the generations that have gone before – we are already standing on the shoulders of those who believed in the transformational power of education. Contributions from alumni, parents, charitable trusts and other donors currently enable us to give 130 children access to a Warwick Foundation education each year.

At the heart of our work is a commitment to widening access to exceptional education for children from all backgrounds—especially those who will thrive at our schools but are unable to afford the fees. Our current student body includes looked-after children, refugees, and others facing significant challenges, and we strive to help every individual in our diverse community to reach their full potential.

Each year, demand for financial support far exceeds our resources, leaving many talented children without the opportunities they deserve. Our vision is a future where access to education is based on merit, not means. Our first step towards making this vision reality is to create 100 new means-tested bursaries over the next decade, covering full fees and associated costs for children aged 7 and up. Funded through philanthropic gifts, these bursaries will support generations of gifted students – now and always.

“It’s hard to say where I’d be today without a bursary. What I can say with confidence is that it’s shaped who I am today. The confidence and life skills I have developed, the way I present myself and the way I navigate life is because of how the school supported and nurtured me.”

David Crowther – Warwick School 2010-17

Sometimes, an unexpected change in circumstances can turn a family’s world upside down. In challenging times, parents want nothing more than to shield their children from disruption – but financial strain can make this incredibly difficult.

Last autumn, we launched the Hardship Fund. Open to any Warwick School family, the Fund can offer some support in times of unexpected financial difficulties for curricular essentials such as educational trips, sports equipment or items of uniform. Every application is considered on a case-by-case basis. The fund stands alongside bursaries which are our mechanism for means-tested fee remission.

Every child deserves a stable education, whether they are months away from completing GCSEs or A-Levels, or just finding their first friends in Year 7. With your help, we can provide this for more families across our Warwick network. Families who are facing an unexpected job loss, who have reduced income due to illness or who just need some time to rejuggle finances and have nowhere else to turn.

If you would like to give a gift to support families in times of crisis, please use the following links to make a secure donation:

Make a single gift

A Warwick education is shaped not only by our dedicated and inspiring teachers, but also by the environment in which learning takes place. We are fortunate to offer exceptional facilities – from world-class sports grounds and specialist equipment to art resources that nurture creativity and calm spaces that encourage focus.

To ensure every pupil continues to feel inspired, motivated and supported, we are committed to continually enhancing our learning environment.

If you would like to learn more about our current priorities for developing and improving our facilities, please contact Susie Carr, Director of Development or call 01926 776402.

At Warwick Schools Foundation, we believe in the power of education to transform lives. Our mission is to provide outstanding access to an exceptional education for every young person regardless of their background.

Our roots stretch back over a thousand years, and we have always believed that education should be a force for opportunity.
Thanks to the philanthropic support of previous generations, we are already able to fund 130 bursary places across the Foundation each year, giving the gift of a Warwick education to those who would not otherwise be able to access it.

Every additional pound we receive to our bursary fund goes towards increasing that number.

The gift of tomorrow, today
Leaving a legacy gift to Warwick School is one of the most powerful and lasting ways to help us continue to provide an outstanding education for our pupils.

The generosity of these special types of gifts helps future generations of students thrive and ensures that the spaces where they learn and grow remain truly exceptional.

“I left Warwick School in 1965, not with a pocket full of “O” or “A” levels, but with a confidence and belief in dogged hard work and fair play. I am convinced that the ethos of the school provided me with the inspiration to achieve success in my chosen profession within the construction industry both in the UK and subsequently overseas for some 42 years. It is my strongest wish that a legacy gift in my will can contribute to bursaries and inspire students to achieve their future dreams.”
Steve Chamberlain, Warwick School 1958-65

Free Will Writing Information

When someone chooses to leave a gift in their Will, they may never see for themselves the difference their generosity will make to the lives of our pupils, but through the Floreat Society, we honour that remarkable commitment. It is our way of saying thank you and celebrating the lasting impact of such a meaningful gift.

The Society brings together this special community who have chosen to leave an enduring gift that will transform the lives of others long into the future and helps each supporter to feel connected to their school.

We know how important this sense of connection is, and we hope those close to Floreat Society members feel a continuing bond with our schools – sharing in the pride, joy, and gratitude that their loved one’s legacy inspires.

Members of the Floreat Society receive updates about the real difference legacy giving is making for pupils today, and each year we gather at our Legacy Society Lunch to celebrate, reflect, and say thank you.

If you have chosen to leave a legacy gift to the school in your Will, and would like to become a member of the Society, please let us know. Even if you’d prefer to remain anonymous to others, we would love the opportunity to say thank you and stay in touch.
