We provide targeted funding to schools to help overcome disadvantage and improve outcomes and opportunities for students
We are an educational grant-making charity committed to supporting projects and services which improve outcomes for disadvantaged children.
Our charity object is to provide items, services and facilities for a Church of England boys’ day school in Greater London. We deliver this by developing effective relationships with school staff and seeking their suggestions on how funding can best be used.
Our support makes a positive impact on the life chances of children and young people. This year we are supporting activities at Fulham Boys School.
“we found them[Archbishop Tenison’s School Foundation] to be professional, thoughtful, and entirely focussed on making the most of the asset they oversee for the flourishing of children in London schools, with a focus on disadvantage and special educational needs”

At a time of increasing pressure on resources, education charities can provide flexible, targeted support to help reduce gaps in opportunity and attainment, particularly in disadvantaged areas”
