City of London School
The school currently has six charities registered with the Charity Commission. These are "The City of London School Bursary Fund" which contributes to the funding of the bursary schemes, "The City of London School Bursary Trust" which provides bursaries to boys who have gained admission to the school but whose parents cannot afford the fees, "The City of London School Scholarships and Prize Fund" which allows the school and other parties to offer scholarships, prizes or sponsored awards to current or former pupils without incurring taxes, "The City of London School War Memorial Fund" which was originally established to support boys affected by the World Wars but now supports means-tested bursaries at the School, "The City of London School Charitable Trust" which is the annual charity appeal and "The City of London School Education Trust" which exempts the school from taxes as an independent school providing education for pupils within the school, as well as providing educational and recreational facilities for children and young people in the surrounding communities. Recent charities have included WaterAid, GOSH, Teenage Cancer Trust and Malaika Kids. Events such as the 24-hour 'fishathon', 48-hour row, cake sales, sponsored swims and an 11-mile sponsored walk generate money for the charity appeal.
