Together for Westminster: Bursary Appeal 2026
At Westminster, we aim to recruit and nurture a diverse and inclusive community of gifted young people, regardless of their financial means or backgrounds. We currently commit over £2 million to means-tested bursaries each year. We have an even greater ambition: to increase this to at least £2.5 million annually to support an expanded range of awards.
We seek support from Old Westminsters, current parents and parents of OWW, and members of our wider community who are passionate about the transformative experience of a Westminster education. Every donation, however large or small, is much appreciated. Together, we can create more opportunities for young people with exceptional academic abilities.

"By unlocking the potential of their exceptional minds, we not only help transform the lives of bursary recipients, but also deepen and broaden the social and intellectual experience for everyone. Wherever they come from, pupils at Westminster develop both their cleverness and their character, so that they leave us as thoughtful, compassionate, driven individuals, ready and able to make meaningful contributions to society and shape a brighter future for generations to come. Please help us to continue this transformational work. Thank you."
— Dr Gary Savage, Head Master

Higher rate tax relief
If you are a higher-rate tax payer, you can claim tax relief on all your charitable donations, including donating your acceptance fee. By including information about your donations in your self-assessment tax return, this significantly reduces the cost of your donations.
