Student Opportunity Fund
Give them the chance that others take for granted.
You could help a child at our Schools to thrive, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.
The introduction of VAT on school fees has added further financial strain for many, making it harder for some families to manage the full cost of school life. Without support, pupils may miss out on the opportunities that help them feel included, inspired, and confident.
The Student Opportunity Fund is designed to support LSF families facing these rising costs, helping pupils continue to access all that our Schools have to offer.
We’re here to help answer your questions

School uniforms

Giving pupils a full educational experience
“Our daughter was really hoping to be able to take part in Duke of Edinburgh and complete it alongside her friends and classmates. She wanted to complete it at her old school but unfortunately didn’t get the chance to. The funding for it is hard for us to come by with only one parent working and the other being disabled and unable to work.
Your support means so much to us all. Without you, our daughter would not be where she is today. We are so grateful to you for giving my girl such an amazing opportunity.”
Rebecca, a parent of a pupil supported by donations
“On behalf of my son and our family, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the generous funds awarded to us to help pay for his bus fare to school.
Due to the financial constrains we are presently facing, we are not in a position to afford the cost of the bus fare on top of the school fees. Receiving the funds to pay for his travel has not only eased our financial concerns, but has also opened valuable opportunities for our son to thrive in his education and growth.
We are deeply moved by the kindness and dedication of donors like you, who make these things possible. Your contribution has a real, meaningful impact on pupils and families like ours, and we are inspired by your commitment to creating a positive difference. The support is an invaluable resource, and it strengthens our sense of community, knowing that alumni and friends like you are invested in the success and well-being of our children.
Thank you once again for your generosity and for playing such an essential role in our son’s journey. We are truly grateful.”
Damith, a parent of a pupil supported by donations
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to making a sustained impact in our pupils’ lives.
Setting up a monthly donation will go a long way in helping families overcome financial barriers and provide a stable, enriching environment for their children throughout the school year.
Thank you for your dedication to the LSF community and for supporting our mission of providing opportunities for all.
