Commercial Impact

After an understandably challenging time during the pandemic, the 2021/22 academic year has seen a hugely busy period of commercial activities across the Charterhouse campus.

We have enjoyed our busiest ever year of commercial work with residential lettings, events, weddings, filming, School Shop, Charterhouse Club and golf course, given the pent up demand for activity that had built up during COVID restrictions. Profits totalling in excess of £340,000 have been generated through these activities, adding an important revenue stream for the School and ensuring that we maximise our assets during the 19 weeks of the year when our pupils are not studying on site. 100% of the profits generated are invested back into the School’s Bursaries programme, helping to transform the lives of some incredibly able individuals.

This year the campus has played host to a range of educational and sporting camps including the launch of our very own Charterhouse Summer School (which takes advantage of our two fabulous new boarding houses), furthering our partnerships with CMT Learning Ltd who deliver Chelsea Football Foundation and Nike Hockey camps. In addition, we hosted the British Isles Music Festival, Harlequins Rugby Summer Camps, and English Lacrosse Association Triple Arrow Summer Camps. The Charterhouse pupil-led summer camp for children attending Shaftsbury Park Primary School in London gave 20 inner city children a chance to experience a variety of different activities. Day camps for local children have also been very popular, with SuperCamps and Premier Tennis.

The eagle-eyed amongst our community may have spotted Charterhouse onscreen in a number of guises during the last 12 months, having been used as the backdrop for a number of productions including “Anatomy of a Scandal” and “The Crown”. Interest in the School and our grounds as a film location continue to grow year on year – so keep your eyes peeled!

Furthermore our commercial team also supports the School’s public benefit work by facilitating free access to the School’s site for our partner organisations and charities.
