As part of its charitable status, Rougemont offers financial support to a number of deserving pupils each year through the School's Bursary funding programme. Last year, the School committed £300,000 to Bursary funding.
Charitable gifts in all forms are invaluable to Rougemont - every gift, no matter how large or small, makes a huge difference to our School.
There are many members of our School community who support Rougemont through regular monthly gifts and one-off donations and we are very grateful to them for their continued support.
