As we approach our 125th anniversary in 2028, we wish to confirm our commitment to our charitable origins by increasing our bursary provision and providing more full bursaries and more Sixth Form bursaries to support the education of brilliant young women. This is why we launched the 125 Bursary Appeal.
We are asking each member of the school community to support the appeal with a gift of £125, either as a one-off or by pledging just £25 a year over five years.
Our vision is that together we can achieve something of profound and lasting value as we continue our vital work in developing extraordinary young women and amplifying female voices.
You can donate now or keep reading to learn more about the appeal and the impact your support will have.

"How blessed we are to have had the excellent education we did at St Helen’s. But there are talented, deserving girls out there whose families are unable to afford the school fees. This is why I am proud to support the 125 Bursary Appeal, so that more deserving girls can benefit from the education that we had."
Kevan Leggett
Governor and former parent
"St Helen and St Katharine has a long-standing history of providing bursaries to support girls who would otherwise not be able to attend the School. That approach has contributed over the years to the ethos of the School and its values. As current custodians of the School I think it is vitally important we continue that tradition."

"Girls' education really matters and St Helens offers the best there is to be had. Widening access is a wonderful way to celebrate the school’s 125th anniversary."
