The Friends of Rendcomb College is a charity founded in 1984 by Vice-Admiral Sir Louis Le Bailly, who was then the Chair of Governors.

The charity’s aims follow in the vision of the founder of the College, Frederick Noel Hamilton Wills: to provide a good and broad education in attractive and stimulating surroundings to young people regardless of background and income.

Its aims are to establish bursaries and scholarships for boys and girls who might not otherwise have the opportunity of a Rendcomb education and to provide support to families currently at Rendcomb who find themselves in times of crisis.

The charity’s aims are not constrictive and have also supported the College with infrastructure projects that support student learning.

The Friends of Rendcomb College are a registered charity and its accounts are kept entirely separate from the College.

Their Support

Since its inception, the Friends of Rendcomb has ensured that many students have enjoyed an excellent start to their education. The Friends of Rendcomb has funded student education at Rendcomb and capital projects to enhance educational facilities at a cost of over £420,000. Their support has been particularly welcome with the end of Gloucestershire Foundation Scholarships and the Government’s Assisted Places.
