Between 30 June and 12 July 2026, we will be running Whitgift’s fifth Telephone Campaign. 

This initiative brings our community together, offering an opportunity to share the latest developments at the School and strengthen the connections that make Whitgift so special. As part of this Telephone Campaign, we will also be inviting support for key fundraising priorities that will have a lasting impact on the School and its pupils. 

Over these two weeks, a team of enthusiastic Whitgiftians aged 18–24 very much look forward to speaking with OWs, parents, and friends of the School. These conversations are about more than updates - they are a chance to reconnect, reminisce, and, importantly, for our students to learn from you. They are genuinely keen to hear about your career journey and the path you’ve taken in life, gaining insight and advice as they consider their own futures. You can learn more about each of our callers here. 

Our callers are paid for their time over the two-week period. They receive comprehensive training before making their first calls, equipping them with valuable transferable skills. Alongside developing their communication and confidence, callers gain a deeper understanding of Whitgift’s history and the life-changing impact of bursaries - skills and insights that enhance their future opportunities. 

You can hear more from Headmaster Toby Seth here about the campaign, why it matters, and how you can get involved. 

How You Can Make a Difference 

• Share your experiences of Whitgift and give students an opportunity to learn from your own journey since school. 
• Consider supporting the Whitgift For All Bursary Fund – Opening doors for talented pupils who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend Whitgift. There are currently 120 bursary award holders at Whitgift, 9 supported at least partially by Whitgift For All through the generosity of donors like you. We hope to increase this number and aim to support 20 full bursaries in perpetuity by 2035.
