STORY – Trinity Bursary Fund Recipient 2020 – 2022

I

am incredibly grateful for my time at Trinity – I thoroughly enjoyed every second here. Until then, I had never experienced such dedicated teachers or the positive work ethic that was apparent in every lesson at Trinity.

I had wanted to go here ever since I visited Trinity when I was in year 5 with my primary school. However, there were two main hurdles – first, I was a girl and would have to wait until the sixth form, and second, the cost of attending an independent school.

I waited anxiously for the email that confirmed I had been awarded a bursary. Without that award, I would not have been able to attend Trinity and, in turn, get into Cambridge.

Attending Trinity has taught me so much. Alongside my academic subjects, I could try as many extra-curricular activities as I wanted in a welcoming and safe environment. I loved learning to sing and joining the professional-level choirs, planning star-gazing evenings for the lower school, and being able to try out squash.

My main worry before joining

Trinity Bursary Fund Supporters’ Impact 2022

Trinity was the other students. I was concerned about their different financial backgrounds and I wasn’t sure if I would be able to relate to them. I hadn’t realised that many students in the sixth form come from state schools and we were all just young adults with similar interests.

S Everyone was supportive of each other and I felt very close to my classmates, who are now some of my best friends. I never felt disadvantaged by being a bursary student or because I had been at a state school. It simply didn’t matter. My teachers were more than willing to help and, with the extra lessons they provided, I quickly adjusted and came to love Trinity.

On our first day at Trinity, Ms Geldeard said she hoped that sixth form would be an enjoyable experience despite its challenges. I can proudly say that, for me, it was the most enjoyable and rewarding part of my education. n

I am incredibly thankful for the bursary scheme, which made a huge impact on my life. I know that it will continue to change the future of many more students.

t Trinity, we have a long history of supporting refugees and their families through our bursary fund.

Education allows them to make roots in the UK and to establish themselves, despite having no means to afford a school like Trinity.

John Placek’s mother fled the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.

She arrived at Liverpool Street Station with no family, network, or money. She worked as an au pair, married a fellow Czech refugee, but couldn’t visit her family in Czechoslovakia for more than 10 years.

John came to Trinity on a bursary, and his son has now come to study here. John’s bursary gave him a huge opportunity and he has shared the educational experience of a second-generation migrant from a refugee background.

Watch the full interview with John here:

It was an opportunity we didn’t think would be available to people like us.

My background was very different to that of my classmates.

My parents were asylum-seekers who fled a coup in Ghana only a decade before I began at Trinity.

he Rowdown Inspire to Aspire Foundation has been set up to inspire children in Croydon to aspire to something big, something extra and to support them in their aspirations.

Croydon is ranked as the most deprived of all the South London boroughs. In terms of Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI), it is ranked 78 out of 317 boroughs across the whole country.

Over the past few years, the Rowdown Foundation has developed its Tuition Programme to provide academically able pupils in Croydon primary schools with extra lessons in Maths and English to prepare them for

11+ entrance exams for selective and semi-selective state, grammar and independent schools.

In 2017, Trinity took over the tuition for around 50 primary school pupils a year, both boys and girls.

The school pays the teachers and provides all the books, equipment, and refreshments for two hours every Saturday morning.

We have been able to offer Trinity bursaries to eight pupils from the Rowdown Foundation programme.

It is a community initiative in every sense.

Community Trinity Primary Partner Schools programme One of the toughest aspects of bursary support is simply ensuring that the right students know that it is something we offer. The American activist for civil rights and children’s rights, Marian Wright Edelman famously said: “You can’t be what you can’t see”. This understanding is now at the heart of our work with our local schools.

Our new Trinity Primary Partner Schools programme, launched officially this year, allows us to form much closer ties with a more limited number of local primaries. With these schools, we are building deeper relationships and welcoming local children into Trinity more consistently.

We hope that regular engagement with activities such as STEM days, photographic and sporting competitions, musical concerts and plays will help these students understand that Trinity is a place where they can thrive and, crucially, where they will be welcomed, whatever their means.

This programme also allows us to form stronger relationships with the

In turn, we hope this will encourage them to discuss the educational opportunities that Trinity can offer with their suitable families.

In time, we hope that students offered bursary places in this way will assist their former schools as role models and that, ultimately, they might give back once they are established in successful careers. n

MEET OUR PATRON CAMPAIGN BOARD Drawn from across our Trinity community, this group of philanthropists, business leaders and experts will help to deliver our goal that 1in5 students attend Trinity School on a means-tested bursary.

CHAIR OF BOARD

Ian Marchant Class of 1979

The bursary scheme, with its focus on diversity and access for all, is an important way of achieving equal opportunities and social mobility and allows those of us who had the privilege of a great education to pay it forward to tomorrow’s leaders.

Marcia Buxton Parent, School Governor and Chair of TPA

I am excited about what the Trinity Bursary Fund means for any young person - the possibilities that are created, the difference it makes for them and their family, and more broadly. Can you imagine who that young person may become through this opportunity? That’s why I support the fund it makes such a difference.

Mike Hodson Class of 1978

My brothers and I are truly grateful for the time we spent at Trinity. I am pleased to support the Trinity Bursary Fund, which enables students from diverse backgrounds to benefit from the excellent teaching and facilities provided by the school.

Barry MacEvoy Class of 1990 and School Governor

My passion is opening access to high-quality education for every student with potential, regardless of financial means.

David Seymour Class of 1968 and School Governor

I benefitted enormously from my time at Trinity 50 years ago. It is a pleasure and duty to help others to benefit from a first-class education.

Catherine and Danny Wilding Parents

Many of the most positive aspects of our boys’ education and development at Trinity have been driven by the diversity of the student body. Supporting the fund helps to ensure this diversity can continue for the benefit of all current and future students.

Ian Yeulett Parent

I am delighted to support the Trinity Bursary Fund.

After seeing what Trinity has done for our son and daughter, to be able to support other students to realise their potential in an exciting and diverse environment is one of the best feelings you can have.

Trinity Bursary Fund Supporters’ Impact 2022

any of us in the alumni and parent communities take Trinity’s commitment to social inclusivity for granted. When I was here, my friends came from all over Croydon, lived in every conceivable home, from social housing to a lovely semi or detached house.

Many years later, while reflecting on the biggest positive influence I had from my school days, I concluded that it was my school friends. They represented a cross-section of economic backgrounds and differing world views, and that early exposure to a broad spectrum of experience helped me build a successful career in the City, where relationship-building is everything.

In my new role as the Director of Development, I can pay forward all the opportunities that being a Trinity School student gave me.

Cost-of-living increases affect us all, but they disproportionally impact our bursary families.

While the economic situation may affect the ability of some or our community to support the bursary fund when it is most needed, collectively we need to ensure that the disparity between those who have and those who don’t doesn’t grow wider. Talent is spread equally among our community, but opportunity is not.

Our bursary programme helps break down the enormous gulf in educational opportunity that has grown between those who have and those who do not.

am very grateful for your continued and generous support of the Trinity Bursary Fund over the past year.

The economic problems that the UK is experiencing are increasing demand on our bursary programme and, while the downturn affects everybody, it has a disproportionate impact on our existing bursary families and on our ability to support children who need bursary awards to access a Trinity education.

Our bursary programme helps break down the gulf in educational opportunity that has grown between those who have and those who do not, providing a channel for social mobility among lower income families in Croydon, and keeping the school a diverse, inclusive community.

The impact of your support on all our students at Trinity is immediately apparent in the day-to-day life of the school and is appreciated enormously. n
