Education

Our education story goes back to the 15^th century, when records show that a school at Cornhill, near Merchant Taylors’ Hall in the City of London, was maintained by the Company. Since then, many schools across the UK have been founded by Company members and many thousands of pounds have been gifted for educational purposes.

Our current priorities – funding educational opportunities for disadvantaged students, supporting ‘whole-person education’ and empowering Company members to actively participate and engage in our educational work – build on this rich history to keep education at the heart of the Company.
