The old boys paying children's school fees - Times Online
The old boys paying children's school fees - Times Online: "It is philanthropy on a Victorian scale. King Edward’s School in Birmingham has started a “sponsor a child” scheme in which donors commit to sponsoring a boy for his entire education. A total cost, if the boy is in year 7, of about £65,000. It is not alone: South Hampstead High School has a similar scheme and, beyond school, the University of Oxford is considering starting one. As John Claughton, the school’s chief master, says: “Donors like it: they feel they are making an immediate difference; being a force for the good.”"
