In September 2024, a total of 47 pupils with bursary awards will be at St Peter’s, a significant increase from the 30 awards we began with in 2021/22. As we move towards our 1,400th anniversary we continue to fundraise to provide even more life-changing opportunities to more pupils, through the Keys for Life Campaign.

Why is this so important?

Widening bursary provision enhances the St Peter’s community.

• Pupils on bursaries bring great talents to St Peter’s which benefit not just them but also their peers and the whole school.
• We want the school community to reflect the wider world.
• St Peter’s can and should increase its impact on social mobility in York, Yorkshire and the wider region.

Headmaster, Jeremy Walker says “We are all aware of the rising cost of living and the challenges facing the independent school sector, including VAT on fees. Despite these obstacles, we see the Keys for Life Campaign as an opportunity to celebrate all that St Peter’s offers to our pupils and our community. Now, more than ever, bursaries play a crucial role in maintaining our diverse demographic and we are incredibly touched that despite all the financial pressures of today’s world, you continue to give your steadfast support to St Peter’s.”
