There are currently 14 pupils in Furley’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 £500,000 in bursary support for these Furleyites. With your help, we can ensure that future Furleyites have the same opportunities that you once did.
