Why Social Mobility Matters

Watch Temi Ladega (class of 2010) address the whole school at assembly and then please read the associated article by our Director of Development, Jason Court. 

 

Daniel's Story

Put simply, the Trinity Bursary Fund has changed my life. Through the generosity and kindness of its supporters, I was fortunate enough to attend Trinity and have access to opportunities that otherwise would have been limited due to financial restrictions. I was involved with music, an area in which Trinity excels, and thanks to its great facilities and staff I thoroughly enjoyed my time as an instrumentalist at the school. Sport also played a huge role and I have fond memories of participating  in a variety of activities ranging from rugby to long jump.

As well as presenting me with a wide array of extracurricular options, the bursary motivated me to take advantage of these opportunities whilst not taking them for granted. The knowledge that my education was being financed by someone else undoubtedly contributed to my pursuit of academic achievement throughout my Trinity career and pushed me to become heavily invested in the subjects I was studying.

On a more personal level, I would never have met some of my closest friends without the bursary and I can’t imagine life  without them. Having spent nearly half of my life at the school, Trinity has not only played a fundamental role in my development as a person but has also allowed me to be part of a tight-knit community, for which I am grateful. All of this would not have been possible without those who decide to donate, and it is only with their help that I am in such a position.

Mahdeia's Story

I am incredibly grateful for my time at Trinity – I thoroughly enjoyed every second here. Until then, I had never experienced such dedicated teachers or the positive work ethic that was apparent in every lesson at Trinity.

I had wanted to go here ever since I visited Trinity when I was in year 5 with my primary school. However, there were two main hurdles – first, I was a girl and would have to wait until the sixth form, and second, the cost of attending an independent school.

I waited anxiously for the email that confirmed I had been awarded a bursary. Without that award, I would not have been able to attend Trinity and, in turn, get into Cambridge.

Attending Trinity has taught me so much. Alongside my academic subjects, I could try as many extra-curricular activities as I wanted in a welcoming and safe environment. I loved learning to sing and joining the professional-level choirs, planning star-gazing evenings for the lower school, and being able to try out squash. 

My main worry before joining Trinity was the other students. I was concerned about their different financial backgrounds and I wasn’t sure if I would be able to relate to them. I hadn’t realised that many students in the  sixth form come from state schools and we were all just young adults with similar interests. 

Everyone was supportive of each other and I felt very close to my classmates, who are now some of my best friends. I never felt disadvantaged by being a bursary student or because I had been at a state school. It simply didn’t matter. My teachers were more than willing to help and, with the extra lessons they provided, I quickly adjusted and came to love Trinity. 

On our first day at Trinity, Ms Geldeard said she hoped that sixth form would be an enjoyable experience despite its challenges. I can proudly say that, for me, it was the most enjoyable and rewarding part of my education.

I am incredibly thankful for the bursary scheme, which made a huge impact on my life. I know that it will continue to change the future of many more students.

The bursary I received from Trinity changed my life. The school encouraged my inquisitiveness and love of words-which I have used to build a career as a journalist.

Bursary funds like Trinity’s have the potential to be one of the key engines for diversity and social mobility, and creating a private education sector truly reflective of our community.

It was an opportunity we didn’t think would be available to people like us.

The bursary support has helped me massively. Without it, a lot of people like me would not have the opportunity to come to a school like Trinity where there are amazing opportunities available to you.

Zayna Ahamadeen

Receiving such an outstanding education as a result of Trinity’s bursary scheme is the reason for my being where I am today. Trinity effortlessly provides an environment that allows students from all backgrounds and walks of life to feel like they are equally valued members of a fantastic community of learning.

Matt Doherty

The Bursary award I received allowed Trinity to give me so much throughout the seven years I was there, and, ultimately, I want to give back to Trinity as much as they have given to me.

One of the most significant barriers to educational access is the cost of tuition fees and associated expenses. This particularly impacts families who have lower incomes or multiple dependants.

We want to attract a more diverse student population, bringing together individuals from different social, economic, and cultural backgrounds. This diversity can enrich the school community by fostering a culture of openness and inclusion. Exposure to diverse perspectives and experiences can help prepare students for success in a globalised world.

By providing access to our high-quality education, Trinity can help students from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve their full potential and increase their chances of upward social mobility. This can benefit not only the individual students but also their families and the wider community.

By providing financial support to talented students from lower-income families, schools can level the playing field and ensure that everyone has an equal chance to succeed.

The bursary scheme, with its focus on diversity and access for all, is an important way of achieving equal opportunities and social mobility and allows those of us who had the privilege of a great education to pay it forward to tomorrow’s leaders.

It’s my privilege to support the Trinity Bursary Fund and I’d encourage everyone else to follow my lead. Trinity changed my life. I’m very happy to help change someone else’s life in return.

My passion is opening access to high-quality education for every student with potential, regardless of financial means.

I am delighted to support the Trinity Bursary Fund. After seeing what Trinity has done for our son and daughter, to be able to support other students to realise their potential in an exciting and diverse environment is one of the best feelings you can have.

I benefitted enormously from my time at Trinity 50 years ago. It is a pleasure and duty to help others to benefit from a first-class education.

I am excited about what the Trinity Bursary Fund means for any young person - the possibilities that are created, the difference it makes for them and their family, and more broadly. Can you imagine who that young person may become through this opportunity? That’s why I support the fund - it makes such a difference.

My brothers and I are truly grateful for the time we spent at Trinity. I am pleased to support the Trinity Bursary Fund, which enables students from diverse backgrounds to benefit from the excellent teaching and facilities provided by the school.

Many of the most positive aspects of our boys’ education and development at Trinity have been driven by the diversity of the student body. Supporting the fund helps to ensure this diversity can continue for the benefit of all current and future students.
