Did you know?

Last year more than 345 Old Citizens came back to school for reunions and events. We would love to see you too!

Our pupils face an ever-changing world ahead in which the jobs we are preparing them for do not yet exist.

Alan Bird - Head

You are the difference

We are enormously grateful to the parents, alumni and friends of the School who support us so generously each year. Through the collective support of our donor community, pupils who might not otherwise consider attending CLS can focus solely on what they can achieve, not what they can afford.

Opening up our education for all

City of London School has a proud tradition of broadening access to our outstanding education, to talented young people across London. Through our transformational bursary programme, we can ensure that our education is truly inclusive, and we can enrich the experiences of every pupil, as they benefit from the diversity of perspective that our bursary programme helps to expand.

“City fostered qualities of self-motivation, curiosity and ambition in me and my friends, and allowed us to explore our full potential. The teachers inspired me and framed the direction my life has taken, and I’ll never forget that.”
Hursh Mehta, (Class of 2008)
"I was fortunate to receive a full bursary for the duration of my time at City, thanks to the generosity of donors such as yourself, and it is safe to say the opportunities City has provided have incomprehensively changed my life for the better. I was accepted, nurtured and loved, and I leave with dozens of brilliant friends and acquaintances."
Harry Glyn (Class of 2024)
