PLEASE HELP US RAISE £5,000 TO SEND 8 EWELL CASTLE PUPILS TO THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Ewell Castle Tennis Academy has reached another extraordinary milestone in its history. On the back of winning the UK National Champions in the 13U age group, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) has selected the academy to represent England in the prestigious International Schools' World Championships (ISF), U15 Gymnasiade in Zlatibor, Serbia, 4th – 14th April 2025.

This incredible achievement not only highlights the skill, dedication, and teamwork of our young athletes but also ranks Ewell Castle No. 1 in the UK and at the forefront of school tennis on a global stage.

Sending eight pupils to compete in this international tournament is both an immense honour and a significant logistical challenge, especially as a number of the team are on school bursaries (assisted places), and their families cannot afford the travel expenses. The cost of making this dream a reality is substantial, and the Tennis Academy is calling upon the generosity and support of the wider Ewell Castle community to ensure these young Ewell Castle athletes can proudly compete.

To cover travel, accommodation, equipment, and other associated costs, the Ewell Castle Tennis Academy needs to raise a £5,000 in just three months. While the School is committed to supporting the players, this is a challenge that cannot be met without the help of the entire Ewell Castle family including our alumni network and Ewellians.

Sixth Form Bursary Appeal

Under its public benefit provision, the School currently offers a number of bursaries to families who would not otherwise be able to afford a Ewell Castle School education for their children. Demand is high, however, the School’s funds are limited. We would love to be able to help even more dedicated children and so The Ewellians Association Committee and Ewell Castle School are launching an Ewellians Sixth Form Bursary to support existing Ewell Castle School families who require support to enable their children to continue into our Sixth Form.

It is financial support to allow pupils to continue their academic journey into our Sixth Form (which may also include opportunities for Ewellians to mentor and provide work experience to Sixth Form students).

Science/Maths Bursary Fund

Money from this Science/Maths Bursary will contribute towards the fees of pupils wishing to either join or continue on to Ewell Castle School Sixth Form from the Senior School who wish to study either 1) all three Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) or 2) two Sciences and Maths/Further Maths. The aim of this bursary is to allow academically able pupils wishing to study Science/Maths the opportunity to study at Ewell Castle School even if their family's financial circumstances would normally make this unlikely. Recipients of the bursary will be decided jointly by the Principal of the School and the Head of Science and Head of Mathematics.
