ways in which you can help
SUPPORT A PUPIL
Join our most dedicated supporters in leading the Transforming Lives through Education campaign by funding bursaries that enable pupils to thrive throughout their time at KES.
This is a unique opportunity to empower talented, motivated young people who know that their place at KES is possible thanks to the generosity of those who believe in them.
By supporting a pupil, you can make a life-changing difference - covering up to 100% of their journey at KES.
If you are interested in making a transformational gift, please contact Alison Heyes, Development Director at a.heyes@kesbath.com or 01225 464313.
donate to the Wroughton Bursary Fund
Every donation makes a difference. Whether large or small, your gift helps remove financial barriers and opens the door to a King Edward’s education for talented pupils. A one-off donation or a regular monthly, quarterly or annual gift creates life-changing opportunities for young people to thrive. Inspired by our founding year, suggested regular amounts include £15.52, £155.20, or £1,552 - but every level of support matters.
Together, the KES community can ensure more young people from diverse backgrounds access an exceptional education.
Donating online is a quick and straightforward way to support the School, and you have the option of making a one-off or regular donation. Alternatively, you can donate by cheque, or bank transfer – details are on the donation form. Please make cheques payable to King Edward’s School, Bath.
leave a legacy
Leaving a gift in your Will is a powerful way to honour your connection to KES and help ensure the School inspires, challenges and supports young people now and in the future. Legacies have long played a role in shaping the School and we are grateful to those people who have left gifts in their Wills to King Edward’s. This is one of the most personal and significant gifts to make and will have a life-changing impact on future generations of young people at KES.
