The King's School Worcester Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust exists mainly to raise money for bursaries that let pupils whose families could not otherwise afford it attend The King's School Worcester, with major capital projects for the School as a secondary aim.
- Its stated priorities centre on the School, and its wider objects reach other charities only after trustees have considered the School's requirements, so a request should be framed around the School's bursaries, its capital projects, or equipment for the School.
- The annual report publishes no application process and does not state a grant range, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to ask whether a request could fit before writing a full application.
- When deciding bursary allocations, the trustees weigh the resources available now against the long-term funding commitment an entry-level bursary carries.
