The Lingfield Foundation
The Lingfield Foundation, registered as a charity in 2025*, was formed to provide 100% transformational bursaries to talented and ambitious young individuals, allowing them to thrive at our school.
At Lingfield College, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact in education. We believe financial circumstances should not limit access to high-quality education for deserving and talented children. Furthermore, we recognise the profound impact of bursaries on our school community. They bring fresh perspectives, foster diversity, and equip students for success in a global workplace.
We’re also developing a fully funded Saturday experience within the Foundation, designed to give children and young people from the local community, who aren’t students, the chance to take part in enriching experiences here at Lingfield College. These sessions will focus on creative projects and skill-building activities, delivered in a fun and collaborative environment.
We understand that many more gifted young individuals in our local community could greatly benefit from a Lingfield education. To continue and expand our important work, we rely on your support.
How You Can Help
You can support the Lingfield College Foundation through various means, including one-off gifts, regular giving, or establishing a long-term commitment to transform the lives of young individuals. Your contribution will directly impact the future of talented students, providing them with the opportunities they deserve to thrive and succeed. Together, we can make a lasting difference at Lingfield College.
Some of our students receive means-tested financial assistance, which is reviewed annually. Parents seek this funding directly from the school and are supported by the school, not the Foundation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much is given through transformational bursary support? The Lingfield Foundation will cover 100% of the fees, as well as the relevant uniform and equipment required by the student.
- How are children selected to receive transformational bursaries? Applications will be open early 2026 and, due to the demand, will be limited to a four-week period.
- What is the distinction between transformational bursaries and scholarships? Bursaries refer to a 100% transformational bursary offered to a talented child from a low-income family. The primary consideration for receiving a bursary is the family's financial circumstances, which are carefully evaluated for each application. Additionally, the potential benefit the student will gain and their expected contribution to the school's community are also taken into account.
Scholarships are awarded to recognise outstanding talent, achievements and potential in various domains such as academics, sports, performing arts and creative arts. Scholarships provide a predetermined reduction in fees, but they are not based on financial need and do not undergo means testing.
-
What is the process for applying for a transformational bursary? Applications to the Lingfield Foundation are not currently open. More details will be available soon. For Fee Assistance, please refer to our Scholarships and Awards section for information on the process and key dates.
-
How will the assessment for a transformational bursary be conducted? You will receive an application form along with accompanying instructions, which you need to complete and submit. The form will enquire about your household's financial income, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments, accommodation and dependents. It is essential to provide supporting documentation to verify the accuracy of the information you provide.
-
If I have already been granted a transformational bursary for one of my children, can I still apply for additional assistance if another child of mine is offered a place at the school? Yes, the transformational bursary awarded to one child will be considered when evaluating the level of support required for another.
-
Is it possible for me to seek a transformational bursary if I am not a resident of the United Kingdom? Yes, in 2023 Lingfield College established the Lingfield College Crisis Support Fund, which provides transformational bursary opportunities for children affected by war, the pandemic, or humanitarian crises. However, all students must possess a visa.
