The Bursary Fund at CHS stems from our long history of widening access by offering life changing opportunities of a fully funded CHS education to young people of talent and ambition who simply can not afford the fees.
This year we are asking our AMAZING community to come together in support of our bursary pupils and create a vibrant, diverse school environment at CHS.
Watch the videos below to hear about two of our recent bursary pupils.

Belinda, Class of 1994
CHS Governor
"In 1987, when I was 11, I received a life-changing letter confirming my scholarship place at CHS. I was so grateful to be at school every single day as it gave me an instant escape from a life that was often very tricky. I am beyond thrilled to have been asked, 35 years later, to become a Trustee of the CHS Bursary Fund to be able to help transform more lives."
CHS Bursary Parent
"Simply put, the generosity of donors is life-changing to many children. Our own daughter came from the care system and had a difficult start to her life. However at CHS she has been given the opportunity to put her past behind her and achieve everything in her potential. We are, and always will be, eternally grateful to the selfless heroes, who play a huge role in giving a disadvantaged child the chance at a better life."
Elvis, Class of 2021
"I was so excited to be offered a place at CHS, I worked hard for the opportunity and I'm so grateful that everything fell into place. It was very different to my previous school – much stricter, but in a good way. I had the chance to fulfil my potential thanks to the amazing teachers who supported me."

Maisha, Class of 2021,
Studying Medicine at Leeds
"Being offered a place at CHS was truly life-changing and I hope one day to be able to give back to the School which has given so much to me and my family. I will be forever grateful to the donor who gave to the Fund and made it possible for me to attend CHS. For me, it will always feel like my home."
Adam Hayley
Head of Art
"In 2019, we welcomed our first art bursary student, after noticing incredible potential. With the support and resources available at CHS, he was able to flourish. His ambition was to be the first in his family to attend university and he did exactly that. I couldn't be more proud of him."
Current Bursary Pupil
Year 9
"Over the past three years at CHS I have really appreciated all the little things the staff and teachers do for us in school. I would like to give a very special thank you to all the bursary donors, for giving me the chance to be here and to benefit, academically, socially and emotionally, and to share in the life of CHS."
