    Excellence Fund

    The Camden School for Girls is proud to be one of the top state schools in the country. In these uncertain times, your help is urgently needed, as state funding alone looks unable to provide the educational funds that our pupils need and deserve. The Excellence Fund offers every parent, alumnus and friend of the school the opportunity to contribute to this vision for the benefit of all our students, present and future, and to tackle the urgent needs of the school. We are determined to provide the best resources and facilities possible so that the school's tradition of excellence can continue.

    Excellence Fund

    We are fortunate in having an engaged community of parents, friends and alumnae/alumni, many of whom support the school financially. We are extremely grateful to them. Our aim is encourage at least 50% of parents to donate, ideally on a monthly basis and to raise more money from our wider school community. In these difficult times we need more support than ever before so that we can continue to provide an excellent education along with exceptional extra-curricular activities, pastoral care, trips, performances and additional support to all our pupils.

    Donations are dedicated to the school’s most urgent priorities. Recent projects include:

    • Financial assistance for the Arts at CSG, including investments in Music, Drama and Art which are an integral part of the ethos of the school and which have been significantly disadvantaged by cuts in funding over the last decade.
    • Redecoration within the main school building providing an improved and bright environment for pupils and teachers including new classroom furniture, flooring and windows.
    • Improvements and refurbishments to toilets throughout the school.
    • Contributing to the Welfare Fund providing grants to pupils and families in urgent need.
    • Improving pupil wellbeing by providing better space for play and recreation for our younger pupils to encourage physical activity, creativity and enjoyment
    • Improving and upgrading the D&T rooms and facilities

    Future priorities include redecoration of the remaining areas of the school and upgrading the school's very old boilers and central heating system.

    The Foundation of Frances Mary Buss

    Registered Charity no: 312763

    In the mid-19th century, the school’s illustrious founder, Frances Mary Buss took on the educational establishment and became one of the leading architects of state education for girls across the country. Her quietly determined and ground-breaking work established both the North London Collegiate and Camden School for Girls at a time when there were few educational opportunities for girls and certainly none for those with limited means. Her vision is remembered and celebrated every year at the school’s Founder’s Day and lives on in the achievements of the school, and the school’s charity, the Camden School Foundation of France Mary Buss.

    Ms Buss started her schools with the help of charitable donations rather than with government funding, and our school retains Voluntary Aided status to this day. This means the Foundation must contribute to the maintenance of the school’s buildings and infrastructure and continues to support the school financially where needed. Unlike many schools in the private sector which were founded with large bequests of land or money, Camden School for Girls has no such wealth to fall back on. Instead, we rely on donations to support the best educational provision for all pupils.
