Bursaries

The Michael Booker Memorial Bursary Scheme

At the heart of BGS remains a strong belief in access through ‘academic ability, not ability to pay’. With state funding no longer available, BGS now runs its own assisted places schemes. You can support bright children at BGS through the Michael Booker Memorial Bursary Scheme. The late Michael Booker, a greatly respected and inspirational teacher at BGS, dedicated his working life to the school’s pupils, choosing to direct his talents towards ability rather than privilege. The bursary scheme is named in his memory and currently funds 18 students at BGS, and a further three have now left to follow university courses. Your bursary gift will help towards one young person’s education at BGS and will be greatly appreciated by our School. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the scheme and larger gifts can be spread over time.
