Transforming lives

Framlingham College has a long and proud history of supporting pupils through means-tested bursaries. This was evident even at its foundation in 1864 when it was stipulated that the College should always have six Pembroke Scholars, pupils who would not be able to attend the College without full bursary remission of tuition fees. These bursaries continue to this day. However, we want to do more.

Today in the UK, a staggering 4 million children live in poverty and we are experiencing a deeply concerning divide between the haves and the have nots. We feel it is morally imperative that we do all that we can to make a difference. Not only does a lack of social equality undermine social cohesion, it is also an unforgiveable waste of talent and potential.

Andrew Cook, Director of Development

Sixth Form Bursaries

Above and beyond the Pembroke Scholarships, the Framlingham College Bursary Campaign, supported by the Society of Old Framlinghamians, will provide as many Sixth Form bursaries as it can to deserving pupils. This is a long-term campaign which will allow us to provide an increasing number of young people with the opportunity to live and learn at our inspirational school. In year one (September 2022), we will provide at least one additional Sixth Form bursary place. In year three (September 2024) we hope to increase that to at least two additional bursary places. In year five (September 2026) at least five places and so on.

We encourage everybody associated with the College community to get behind this campaign. Your gift, however large or small, will help make a real difference. Together, we can transform the lives of young people. Our community is global and includes a huge variety of people who will be able to relate to our campaign.

The Jules & Michele Arthur Bursary Fund

Jules and Michele Arthur have supported the Framlingham College Bursary Campaign from the outset through their kind and generous annual donations. In addition, they have facilitated the creation of a bursary fund to support our current and future recipients. This allows the pupils who benefit from the Campaign to have the confidence that they can fully immerse themselves in the life of the College without ever having to be anxious about being unable to pay for music lessons, educational trips, the odd boarding night and all of the other ‘extras’ that might otherwise limit their educational experience.

The Impact

Our belief in the importance of reducing barriers to access is reflected in this bursary programme. Together, with your support, we can transform young people’s lives and help them create their own story.

“Going to Framlingham was the education that my family wanted to provide me with but were unable to. The experience broadened my horizons, pushed me and pushed my expectations of myself. I thrived with the education I was provided with and now find myself in a job that I love. I also discovered my love for shooting at Framlingham and now shoot for Ireland and am Captain of the Suffolk Rifle Team.’”

Bursary recipient & Property Manager at Knight Frank

‘I received an outstanding education and was able to pull together a strong university application so that I could continue Japanese and German at higher education. Without my bursary, it wouldn’t have been possible for me to learn so much and ultimately achieve my goal of working for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.’

Tori Aldred

Bursary recipient & currently working at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

A scholarship allowed me the opportunity to study at the College and have access to some excellent facilities. In particular, I spent a lot of time in the recording studio trying things out – and the pianos here are amazing! But more importantly, the staff here are truly brilliant; their support and encouragement was invaluable as I worked at both my playing and writing throughout my Sixth Form years. I’m very grateful for that.

Giving in numbers

Combining modest regular gifts from groups of donors can create new additional full bursary awards. Small gifts can make a big difference. Doubling the time or the amount of the gift provides a full bursary for both years in the Sixth Form.

One full bursary for an academic year equals:

£186.40

per month for one year from 10 donors

£18.64

per month for one year from 93 donors

£1,864

per month for one year from 1 donor

£20,823

single donation from 1 donor

donors waiving a 10% 13+ scholarship

Every donation will make a difference

We encourage everybody associated with the College community to get behind this campaign. Your gift, however large or small, will help make a real difference and together, we can transform the lives of young people.

Our community is global and includes a huge variety of people who, will be able to relate to our campaign. Whether you are a parent or a grandparent, alumni, member of staff, past or present, or a friend of Framlingham College through work in the community that has brought us together, we invite you to stay connected to us by donating and giving another young person the chance to experience a Framlingham College education. Your support for this Bursary Campaign is hugely appreciated.
