At CH, it’s about need, not greed! We work hard to reach and pay for deprived children who can truly benefit from our bursary support, which last year came to £17.2m! 13% of our pupils pay no fees at all and 35% pay a maximum of 10%.

in 1553, Edward VI founded Christ's Hospital.
This painting was commissioned to celebrate the event, 100 years later.
It is not a realistic interpretation of Edward, as he was on his death bed at the time!
