Sedbergh School Foundation was set up in 2000 to provide long-term financial support for the school’s development plans. The Foundation’s primary objective is to support projects that cannot be funded through fee income. It aims to draw support from Old Sedberghians, parents and friends who want to assist the Governors to achieve their aim of making Sedbergh the premier co-educational boarding school in the north of England.
