This campaign has now closed
Every year several young people, who could have enjoyed a Giggleswick education have to be denied the opportunity by limited funds. Our mission is to provide the widest access to this unique educational opportunity that is ever more costly through our Changing Lives Bursaries Campaign.

Situation
Rising costs combined with the loss of the Assisted Places Scheme has reduced access to the educational opportunities available at independent schools. As a consequence many children from the widest backgrounds are denied this unique opportunity because funds to underwrite bursaries are so limited. This has narrowed the educational and social experience for all pupils and limits our ability to serve the regional community, which the school is such an integral part of.
Solution
Over 120 pupils have received bursary assistance in the last three years. We continue to make prospective applicants aware of what is on offer to help them. Our initial target in year one is £120000 which will enable 3 full sixth form boarders or five Year 9 Day Pupils to attend the school on 100% fee relief. We expect the fund to be self-sustaining, rising to £500000 by the end of year 3 & £1m by the end of year seven. Up to 10 pupils will then have completed their experience at Giggleswick
