King Alfred School
Key takeaways
- The charity's grants are for setting up or advancing classical Christian education, so a group whose work lies outside that area should not expect to fit.
- The charity says it prioritises requests of that kind, so a proposal should be framed around that purpose.
- Priority is given to establishments in England, though the annual report does not say that other areas are excluded.
- Neither the annual report nor its website gives a grants figure or a grant range, so a request's realistic size cannot be judged from the published material, and a modest, costed request is the safer starting point.
- No application process is published, so the contact shown should be used to get in touch before a full application is prepared.
