"I was a bursary recipient and remain hugely indebted to this wonderful gift that I was offered. I firmly believe that without it, I would not have had such significant opportunities in my life after school. Knowing how privileged I was, has directed my own career, and I now teach in order to help young people understand how to make the most of all the opportunities they are given."GAYLE RUSSELL (L 05)

Oundle’s tradition of philanthropy began with a legacy from its founder, Sir William Laxton, in 1556. Today, gifts in wills remain vital in supporting the School’s excellence for future generations.
Leaving a legacy is straightforward, tax-free, and can be tailored to a purpose of your choice. If you have appreciated the excellence of an Oundle education, we encourage you to consider leaving a legacy to ensure that future generations continue to benefit. If you plan to include Oundle in your will, we’d be delighted to hear from you and welcome you to the William Laxton Society, which thanks supporters through special events.

At Oundle, we believe that financial circumstances should never stand in the way of potential. Through bursaries and emergency support, we help families in need, working closely with them and our trusted partners to widen access to an Oundle education. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, more than £6m has been raised since 2013. On behalf of the hundreds of children who have benefited, we would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has chosen to support Oundle in this way.
We place the highest value on giving our pupils every possible opportunity to flourish and on being true to our identity as a co-educational boarding school. Project 24 is our vision for securing the long-term security and success of Oundle School for all our pupils.
McMurray House is a cornerstone of Project 24. The new boarding house aims to bring girls boarding into the heart of Oundle through developing the site of the former Oundle Primary School into a 60-bed girls’ boarding house for 13-18-year-olds.
Each year, the Old Oundelian Benevolent Fund makes funds available to support children of Old Oundelians, either as boarding and day pupils, that are in need of bursary support.
Bursaries are awarded through a Declaration of Means process which can be completed up to three years before entry to the School. Old Oundelian parents are encouraged to contact Admissions at an early stage in the process. Candidates must pass the appropriate entrance examinations, contribute positively to School life and show a conscientious attitude to their studies.
