Dr Radcliffe’s School Foundation

The Foundation is a charity which goes back to the seventeenth century when Dr Radcliffe was principal of Brasenose College Oxford, and rector of Steeple Aston.  His will established funds for Dr Radcliffe’s school (which then covered a wider age range), and to support local young people and charitable activities.  Today the foundation has resulting investment income which means it can carry on doing those things.  Trustees meet three times a year; sub-committees manage investments and finance, as well as giving financial support to local people up to 25 years old.

Dr Radcliffe’s awards

The trustees’ Scholarship committee meets annually to consider applications for awards.  Young people aged 16-25 can apply for a cash grant made by bank transfer, if they live locally or attended Dr Radcliffe’s school for at least 2 years.  The aim is to help with things like field trips, tools or equipment, uniforms or protective clothing, special software or devices, travel or living expenses.  Applicants might be students of any sort, employees or apprentices.  To apply for this help, you just need to fill in and submit a Google form with the QR code or link attached.
