Impact

Since 2013 KSEF has placed 17 Foundation Students at 12 top independent Senior Schools. All students have received full bursaries, either wholly from the future school or partially funded by KSEF. A list of the senior schools is below.

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.

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.
