There are currently 13 pupils in Chawker’s who are only here thanks to the generosity of those who came before them. For centuries, philanthropy has ensured that talented pupils, regardless of their financial background, can benefit from a Winchester education. This year alone, the school is providing over £410,000 in bursary support for these Chawkerites. With your help, we can ensure that future Chawkerites have the same opportunities that you once did.
