Christ’s Hospital has existed for 460 years to provide a first class education for needy children. Christ’s Hospital comprises two major elements. The School which delivers the first class education, and the Foundation which provides the means for the School to do so. The School and Foundation are completely interdependent, and enjoy a very close working relationship. Their common objective is to enable pupils to realise their maximum potential and leave Christ’s Hospital fully prepared to embrace life and make the most of all of its opportunities.

The Foundation, situated on the School’s campus, generates the funding for over 80% of the annual costs of educating 860 children at Christ’s Hospital School.  These costs include maintaining the infrastructure, not least the buildings on the 200 acre Grade II* listed site, as well as providing considerable administrative support.  In conjunction with the School, the Foundation develops and implements the strategic plan.
