Old Bradfordians

Our commitment to bright young people in our region is enshrined in the School’s 1662 Royal Charter. We want to ensure that all children with the talent to flourish at BGS can do so, irrespective of background or circumstance.

Each year, we receive applications from around 90 pupils requesting an Assisted Place, however, we are only able to offer up to 10 Assisted Places each year. Many talented children are forced to turn down an offer of place owing to a lack of funding. Children who would enrich BGS. Children whose background and experiences will ensure that our school is as diverse and multi-faceted as the world outside of our gates.

The 1662 Campaign seeks to address this need by directing all donations towards the 1662 Fund for Assisted Places.

Make your mark on your old school – and help the next generation of Old Bradfordians make theirs.

We are delighted to present our latest 1662 Campaign Report, which covers the School’s 2022/23 financial year. This publication recognises the impact of the School’s many supporters on the lives of our students. Your generous donations are enabling BGS to maintain and grow our Assisted Places provision, transforming lives and contributing to social mobility in Bradford. Thank you.
