Development

Giving back and looking forward...

Bristol Grammar School’s development programme aims to bring long-term additional income to the School through charitable giving. This enables the wider BGS family to give something back so that the next generation of children can benefit from extra resources, facilities and bursaries which could not otherwise be afforded from fee income alone. All fee income goes directly towards the education of our students and we try to keep fees as reasonable as possible: consequently there is little to spare for additional projects. Support comes from parents, former parents, staff and Governors, Old Bristolians, charitable trusts and foundations. All are giving tax effectively to:

The Michael Booker Memorial Bursary Scheme: opportunities for bright children made possible through fees assistance

The Annual Fund: for improved resources each year to benefit everyone

Legacies: investing for future generations by including BGS in your will

We value everyone's involvement, and in return, we welcome OBs and friends back to BGS and can help organise visits and reunions. We also work closely with the OBs' Society to hold events and keep OBs in touch with each other, helping with career development, networking and contacts. OBs, former staff and other friends receive the BGS ‘View’ newsletter three times a year. By supporting BGS, our donors make the School special, providing extra resources and experiences that are essential components of the School’s broad, challenging and inspirational education. Everyone is included and every gift is valued. Thank you!
