‘I will remember that giving and sharing are the best feelings in the world.’ ~ KS Code
Charity fundraising is a huge part of everyday life at Knightsbridge School.
Each year, our pupils vote for the charity that they would like to fundraise for. This year, the KS chosen charity is Cris Cancer Foundation. The charity’s mission is to invest in scientific innovation and cutting-edge research to accelerate the discovery of cures and provide better treatments for people affected by cancer, especially rarer and underfunded cancers. Throughout the year we will raise money and awareness for this amazing charity with child-led initiatives.
In addition to this, Knightsbridge School also has three main charities which it supports every year:
- The Royal Hospital Chelsea – KS has had a formal relationship with the Royal Hospital Chelsea since the school’s founding 20 years ago, and is one of only two schools with such a connection.
- The Knightsbridge School Educational Foundation (KSEF) – The KSEF provides four bursaries for local students who cannot afford the school fees. KS parents (50%) and Directors (50%) fund through donations/dinners/fundraisers and these children are funded from 11 till they leave their future senior school at 18.
- Place2Be – We are pioneers as the first private day school to have Place2Be as our in-house counselling service for KS children, staff, and parents.
Knightsbridge School also has a close relationship with The Kensington & Chelsea Foundation, which provides support for important local causes. We are one of the Founding Patrons and support many of their local charities.
