The 500 Campaign

Changing lives through bursaries at BGS

Since the BGS Foundation was established in 2003, over £8million has been raised to support children at BGS.

Thanks to the generosity of OBs, parents and friends, donating through various campaigns and by leaving legacies, countless children have received bursaries, (in the name of Michael Booker)

and new buildings and facilities have been created.

We are hugely grateful for the support of our growing donor community.

With our new “500 Campaign” we aim to double our current bursary provision and enable one in four of our senior school children to receive a means tested bursary of at least 50%.

Our mission is to provide an exceptional and rounded education to those who might benefit from it, regardless of their background and financial means and we plan to raise £12million by 2032.

As we build towards our 500th Anniversary celebrations in 2032, we encourage our BGS Community to support our drive for widening access.

Philanthropy is integral to our heritage and culture; it was in this way that Bristol Grammar School was originally founded, it was in this way that our great and historic buildings and facilities were created and it is in this way that we will change the lives of children, making a difference for them individually, for Bristol, and for the world beyond.

To find out more about our campaign, to offer support through sponsoring a sixth form student or to donate any amount, please get in touch.

Thank you.
