Giving Day 2025

"Shiplake has given me such a platform to explore new ideas and confidence to try new things"

James’s story is at the heart of what Giving Day is all about. On 1-2 May, we will be coming together to support the development of our new Sixth Form Centre, and to grow our bursary programme so more young people have the chance to benefit from a Shiplake education.

You can hear more about what made James’s time at the College so special via the video above.

Every gift made during 1-2 May will be doubled thanks to our generous match funding donors, making Giving Day the best day to give. Every gift tells a story. Help us write the next chapter.
