Fundraising, Development and Alumni Relations at King Edward's School, Bath, a leading independent, co-educational school for 3-18yrs in south West England

At King Edward’s School, we believe in transforming lives through education.

Since 1552, our purpose has remained clear: to give every pupil the chance to realise their full potential. Today, we aim to do that regardless of financial circumstances. 

The 1552 Foundation, launched in 2025, is central to this vision. It embodies the School’s values of always looking out for and supporting others, which continues to guide us to this day. 

Unlike many independent schools, King Edward's does not have a historic endowment, so we look to the generosity of our community to further our charitable objectives. 

As we approach the School’s 475th anniversary in 2027 and beyond, our ambitions are bold. We aim to increase the number of life-changing bursaries we can provide, expand the opportunities we offer our pupils and enhance our educational environment. 

Charitable donations help us to provide a first-class education to young people, regardless of their financial circumstances, as well as creating an exceptional learning and pastoral environment at our School.
