Christ's Hospital
has existed for over 460 years to provide a first class free or
supported education for children from disadvantaged and modest
backgrounds. Christ's Hospital comprises the School and the
Foundation, which provides the resources for the School to meet its
objectives. School and Foundation are completely interdependent and
enjoy a very close working relationship. Their common objective is
to enable the School’s pupils to realise their maximum
potential and prepare them for life and make the most of all its
opportunities.
