The School Charity - QEHS Foundation (Gainsborough) has the following aims:
The Charity aims to support and assist the students of Queen Elizabeth's High School by funding activities and events not covered by the School Budget Share and offering financial assistance to students of families on low incomes.
Individual Students
Any current student in the school can apply to the fund for a grant up to £200. Grants could be given for things such as support for extra-curricular sporting, music and performing arts activities or learning activities outside of school where they may need financial assistance.
Applications can be made throughout the year and students should submit their case by email in no more than 300 words to Mr Eastham outlining:
- What the activity is and why they are unable to fund it themselves or from family support;
- What the educational or other benefits to them will be from the activity.
School or student-based projects
Occasionally the school or individual students engage in worthwhile projects which may require financial support. This support may be in the form of a grant or a loan. A loan may be required if the project will eventually make money but requires some initial funding.
Project leaders should submit their case by email to Mr Eastham in no more than 600 words outlining:
- A full description of the project and how either the school or the individual(s) will benefit from the completion of the project and should include:

- What other sources of funding they have to support the project.
