Celebrating half a decade of charitable impact
In 2023, we celebrated our fifth year as a fully registered charity.
In Autumn 2023, we celebrated our fifth year as a fully registered charity with a key aim of becoming a valued partner to local and state schools, businesses and the wider community in which our schools serve.
As a school group, we set ambitious charitable goals in 2018 with an overall charitable aim to advance education. These include facilitating one million hours of student opportunity and 30,000 hours of teacher opportunity, both by 2025. Now, in year three of the five-year strategy, activity has already accrued 779,680 hours of student interaction and 67,519 hours of teacher training. We also launched a bursary scheme to offer financial assistance to local students with a desire to make a difference in the world, but without the financial means to attend the school group.
In total, 78 students have been allocated places in the last five years, totalling an investment of £5 million. We have also raised funds to support a range of campus development projects and learning programmes.
Our buildings and campus environments play an important role in shaping the experiences and aspirations of not just our students but those from partner schools too; every child deserves to be inspired. Through campus focused fundraising projects, each of our UK campuses have reaped the benefits of new buildings. At Cobham, through Project Tomorrow, our students are enjoying the new STEM Innovation Centre, to encourage careers in STEM. At Egham, Project Inspire has enabled the development of outdoor teaching and learning hubs to foster collaboration, creativity, health and wellbeing. While at Hillingdon, students are able to enjoy a new auditorium so they can polish their skills in performance thanks to Project Shine.
