The Beacon has always been more than just a place of learning. It is a school full of opportunity, challenge and friendship; a place to take risks and become bold; a place where boys can discover their passions, talents and selves.

Every year, we reinvest surplus from school fees back into The Beacon in order to ensure that our teaching and facilities are maintained to the highest possible standards, and to fund bursaries for boys whose family circumstances would have otherwise put a Beacon education beyond their reach.

Our vision sets forth our aspirations for developing The Beacon’s facilities and for widening access. However, these ambitious plans cannot be realised through fee income alone. Without the luxury of an endowment, we must seek additional sources of financial support.

There are many ways in which you can support The Beacon and become involved in the future of this very special School. All gifts, large and small, are appreciated and will help to make a real difference to our boys both now and in the years to come.

Bursaries

There are two bursary funds at The Beacon. The Headmaster’s Bursary Fund for boys whose families’ financial circumstances would have otherwise put a Beacon education beyond their reach. The Beacon Bursary Fund for existing pupils whose families find themselves in temporary financial difficulty.
