Christ's Hospital School

BURSARIES AND A WIDE RANGE OF SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS JOINING CHRIST’S HOSPITAL

Christ’s Hospital is a remarkable school; it is the UK’s leading charitable school and largest bursary charity. The school was established in 1552 and provides free or reduced cost places to over 600 of its 900 students each year. Our students come from every possible ethnic and socio-economic background, bringing a social and cultural diversity that enriches our school community, and makes us unlike any other independent school in the UK. Through first-class education and exceptional pastoral support, Christ’s Hospital provides each student with stability and the opportunity to thrive and fulfil their potential. 98% of students go on to university and leavers take with them the confidence and resilience they will need to achieve success at university.

Christ’s Hospital prides itself on delivering a vibrant curriculum that has both challenge and opportunity at its heart. The Christ’s Hospital curriculum is made up of three interwoven parts: a stimulating academic curriculum which covers everything inside the classroom; an extensive broader curriculum which encapsulates everything outside the classroom; and a pastoral curriculum which has deep roots in the boarding house system, complemented by a dynamic learning for life programme which teaches personal development. All three complement and support the progress of our students at every stage.

The school’s vibrant curriculum encourages life-skills and is devised to take the students out of their comfort zone. An enormous range of Music, Art, Drama, Sport, and expeditionary education is offered, plus the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Young Enterprise, Model United Nations, chess, debating, public speaking and so much more.

Our over-riding aim is to ensure that all our students realise their full potential, wherever their talents, interests and ambitions lie and that they will leave Christ’s Hospital as well-rounded, confident young adults, who are able to tackle life’s challenges positively and make valuable contributions to society.
