Wycombe Abbey Annual Fund

Transforming Annual Fund

Welcome

Built on 125 years of experience in educating young women, Wycombe Abbey prepares girls to lead successful lives through an exceptional school experience.

The School is not supported by a large endowment and consequently our ambitious plans for academic, recreational and pastoral development can only be achieved with the financial support of our community of Seniors, parents and friends.

The continued support of our valued donors to the Annual Fund will ensure that future generations of Wycombe Abbey girls also experience a world class and ever-improving School.

On behalf of Wycombe Abbey, thank you in advance for your generous support. I look forward to meeting you in person, and to discussing our common interest in providing young women with exceptional educational opportunities.

Jo Duncan, Headmistress

Why we need your support

Philanthropy plays a vital role in realising our ambition for the long-term development of Wycombe Abbey. Donations help support the School in three key areas:

Bursary Provision

It is our belief that every girl should be empowered to make the most of her abilities. We wish to ensure that entry to the School is available to as many girls as possible who would benefit from an education at Wycombe Abbey, no matter her family’s financial circumstances.

The Bursary Fund enables us to offer more talented young women the opportunity to come to Wycombe Abbey. We would like to increase bursarial support significantly so that it is available for 12.5% of our pupil roll (around 80 girls each year).

Ensuring that our Bursary pupils thrive remains a priority and we will apply careful consideration to the selection of bursary pupils based on ability, potential and financial need, alongside an enhanced pastoral care programme to support them during their time with us.

Learning and Living Facilities

Today, Wycombe Abbey is recognised as the leading girls’ boarding school in the UK. High quality, fit-for-purpose facilities that benefit our current and future pupils are an important element in enabling us to remain in this position.

Having world class facilities throughout the School site creates an environment for our girls to pursue excellence and for our staff to provide outstanding teaching and pastoral care, enabling each of our pupils to flourish and fulfil her potential.

We have developed a phased, long-term Estates Masterplan that will see us continue to build state-of-the-art teaching, learning and living spaces, in line with the best schools in the world.

Area of Greatest Need

Unrestricted donations can make a significant and immediate impact on the School. They allow the School to direct funds towards the areas of greatest priority, and support a broad range of projects.
