About us
Who we are
Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation (“RNCSF”) is a social mobility charity working with more than 200 of the UK’s leading schools to harness the power of fully funded bursaries and access to ‘outreach’ opportunities at boarding and independent day schools. Our vision is to transform the lives of children and young people facing disadvantage or vulnerability through providing them with access to a great education. We believe every child deserves the chance to thrive, regardless of their background.
Our culture and values
Our values
-
We always start with the child
In everything we do, we ask: “What is in the best interests of the or young person?” Our ‘Whole Child’-centred approach means continually asking ourselves if we are doing all we can to ensure children are healthy, safe, supported, engaged, and thriving academically. -
We are optimistic
We believe passionately that a boarding or independent school education can transform the life chances of any child, regardless of their background. -
We act with integrity
Our pupils, families, schools and community partners trust us to make good decisions. They have confidence in our values and how we work. -
We are focused on impact and learning
We hold ourselves accountable, and we are committed to continuously reflecting on our pupils’ experiences and adapting our model to respond to what we learn. -
We work together in a network
We believe that it is only by working collaboratively in long-term, committed school and community partnerships that we will make a lasting difference to social mobility.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We are committed to cultivating a fair and inclusive environment, where everyone can be themselves and thrive. We especially encourage applications from people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, those with lived experience of our programmes, and people who have experienced forms of exclusion or marginalisation.
