Prep Bursary Fund

Since 2014, the Prep Bursary Fund has provided dedicated financial support for at least one pupil each year who would otherwise be unable to take up their hard-won place at the Prep. Over the years, generous donors have raised over £500,000 towards the bursaries. In order for this bursary to be awarded to a child entering Year 3 each September, we need the support of the Latymer community. 

This year, applications for bursaries increased by a third. We want to respond to this growing need by increasing the number of bursaries that we can offer to bright children from all walks of life. 

Tianrun, the first recipient of a Prep bursary, recently returned to the Prep to thank his former teachers, acknowledging that the full bursary, which enabled him to join Latymer, had made “a significant impact on my life; I honestly don’t know where I would be without it.”

"Without doubt, my proudest moment has been when I received the email offering me a place at King's College, Cambridge. At that moment I knew I would have also made Mr Dorrian proud; he was my former head in the Prep, and he gave me the bursary place at Latymer. Latymer has shaped the person I am today, and I was only able to come because of the bursary I was given. By giving to the Fund, you can increase the diversity of the student body tremendously; I have been given chances that I might never have had.”
