500 for 500 Appeal

As we celebrate 500 years since the founding of the School, we are more determined than ever to continue our Founder’s vision. We want Sedbergh to be known for the outstanding opportunities it brings to the young, irrespective of background.

One important aspect of this is that we are able to help young people, from all walks of life, live extraordinary lives.  Sedbergh sees this as part of its mission. In particular, the Sedbergh School Foundation seeks to provide fully funded places for exceptional children from deprived backgrounds under the Roger Lupton Scholarship and Bursary Scheme. Being awarded such a place is a watershed moment for such children providing social mobility and a more equitable society.

This year therefore, in celebration of our 500 years, the Foundation is launching a new appeal, 500 for 500, in the hope that 1,000 people in our community will contribute £500 (one pound for each of our 500 years) by giving £8.33 a month per person (£16.66 per couple) for 5 years. This will allow one boy and one girl to come to Sedbergh on a Roger Lupton Scholarship.

We ask you to help. After all, philanthropy is both the bedrock and cornerstone of this great northern institution, and in supporting us in this appeal two lives will be uplifted and changed forever.
