Notable Benefactions

ROYAL BURSARY AWARD

Established by HRH Princess Elizabeth (HM Queen Elizabeth II, our Royal Patron from 1951 to 2022) in 1947 to mark the occasion of her wedding to Prince Philip, two Foundation pupils are selected each year to receive the Royal Bursary Award. In the Platinum Jubilee Year the Palace granted us permission to raise funds to endow the Royal Bursary Award ensuring that Her Majesty's support and patronage of Reed's and the Andrew Reed Foundation will be recognised in perpetuity. 

HARVEY MUSIC AWARD

As a former Governor and Trustee for 13 years, David Harvey saw – first-hand - the profound impact music had for Foundation pupils. When he and his wife established the David & Kathleen Harvey Charitable Trust, they endowed a fund at Reed’s which permanently supports two Foundation pupils with real promise in music throughout their time at Reed’s and also funds any Foundation pupil interested in learning a musical instrument.

CAZENOVE BURSARY

Cazenove was a British stockbroker and investment bank, founded in 1823 by Philip Cazenove. It was one of the UK's last independent investment banks and one of the last to remain a private partnership. Cazenove was a long-time supporter of the Reed’s Foundation and, when the main parts of the business were acquired by JPMorgan Chase and Schroders, the former partners endowed a bursary at Reed’s to ensure a Foundation pupil would be supported by Cazenove in perpetuity.

WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF GROCERS' BURSARY

This ancient Livery Company has been supporting the Reed’s Foundation since it was first established in 1813. In addition to funding a Foundation pupil at the School, they have also provided crucial capital for the new School in Watford in 1888 and more recently our Jarrett Indoor Cricket Centre as well as hosting our Annual Foundation Appeal Launch.

WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF CUTLERS’ BURSARY

The Worshipful Company of Cutlers has been supporters of the Foundation for many years.  In 2001 the WC of Cutlers’ Bursary was established and funds a Foundation pupil who shows academic potential and strong character throughout their time at Reed’s. 

TALLOW CHANDLERS’ COMPANY AWARD FOR SCIENCE

The Worshipful Company of Tallow Chandlers is one of the ancient livery companies of the City of London. The Company supports three pupils who have shown distinction in Sciences, particularly Chemistry in their final year at Reed’s. The Company also supports the Launch Car challenge outreach program at Reed’s.

THE TIM HENMAN FOUNDATION

Through his Foundation, Old Reedonian and tennis legend Tim Henman OBE, supports six Foundation pupils at Reed’s School. The Tim Henman Foundation also supports the School’s extensive outreach programme.

RICHARD GARRETT AWARD

Beloved former housemaster, teacher, and sports coach at Reed’s, this fund was established in recognition of Richard’s 38 years of service. Foundation pupils can apply to receive funding from this endowment towards extra-curricular activities and programmes which enhance their understanding of the School’s values.

DAVID BARNETT AWARD

David Barnett has served as a loyal Governor and Trustee of Reed's School and The Andrew Reed Foundation for over 37 years. This award is open to pupils who can demonstrate that the school values are embodied in their approach to their time at Reed's.

EDDIE & THOMAS TRINDER AWARD

Eddie was the younger brother of Thomas, whose father died in 1926 after a distinguished army career. This left their mother with the two boys (aged 3 and 7 respectively) and an older sister (aged 9).  The brothers were offered full bursary places at the London Orphan School (now Reed’s) where they were educated and cared for until such time as Thomas went into RAF and Eddie started a career in medical research.  Sadly, Thomas died in 1942 during a bombing raid, but his brother never forgot the start in life they both received from the Foundation, thus leaving a legacy which will fund a Foundation pupil in perpetuity.

HYLKE VAN SLOOTEN MEMORIAL FUND

In celebration of the life of Reed’s Hockey legend, Hylke “Bob” van Slooten (Bristowe 2005), this fund supports a Foundation pupil, particularly those applicants with an interest in hockey and who exhibit the exuberance for life Hylke himself embodied. This is funded by Hylke’s family, friends and classmates in memory of him.

SIMON CHURCH & JONATHAN TURNER FUND

Set up by Old Reedonian (OR) Charlotte Mocatta in memory of her OR brother and his OR friend, who sadly passed away in an accident in France while celebrating the end of the A Level exams, this fund supports three Foundation pupils at the School with donations from friends, fellow ORs and family and through regular events held at Reed’s.

GORDON AND SUE JACKSON AWARD

This award was established by Old Reedonian Gordon Jackson and his wife Sue to commemorate his year as Mayor of Guildford. Through their charitable trust, the Jackson family supports a Foundation pupil who has lost a parent.

AUDREY & ROBERT GREGORY AWARD

Upon their deaths, Robert Gregory (OR 1936) and his wife Audrey left their estate to Reed’s with the intention to fund a Foundation pupil in perpetuity. This award is named in their memory.
