“I will always be profoundly grateful for
my time at King’s in the 1970s. It was
the best possible start for my life after
school, and it seems entirely fitting to
remember King’s in my Will, so that
others may benefit in the future.”
Kathryn Skoyles

The 1541 Club  

The 1541 Club supports the King’s Ely Bursary Fund, providing vital financial assistance to pupils in need.

A suggested monthly gift of £15.41, marking the year of the school’s Royal Charter, offers a simple and accessible way to join. Many choose to give more, but the 1541 Club is designed to be inclusive, allowing support at a level that feels right.

Members receive regular updates, including a quarterly newsletter, and may choose to be recognised in the school’s list of benefactors. Those who give consistently for 24 months are welcomed into the 970 Society.

Every gift, whatever its size, makes a meaningful difference.
