Thank you for visiting this page, which offers parents and guardians of St Chad’s students a brief insight into our college community and the support that makes it possible.At Chad’s, we welcome students from all over the world and from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds within the UK. This variety is a key part of the kind of education our students receive here – they get to know people with very different experiences and perspectives and learn so much more about the world beyond university as a result. Most of our students feel a strong sense of belonging and get involved in the rich range of extracurricular life on offer – sport, music, volunteering, leadership. We love seeing them develop an amazing set of invaluable life-skills alongside all their academic learning.
It’s one of our founding commitments to ensure that all students, no matter their economic circumstances, are able to access what we offer here at St Chad’s, something we could not do without the generous help of our alumni and other supporters.
Here’s what you could help us make possible going forward.
Accessibility
These lovely old buildings are not easy to navigate for those with mobility issues and, in some areas, impossible for wheelchair users. With your support, we plan to build a ramp in the Quad, and ensure step free access into main college, some of our libraries, our Quad bar and our beautiful gardens.
Scholarships
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, St Chad's is proud to offer five major scholarships for prospective students to reduce the financial barriers to accessing University life, a range of bursaries for current students to enable them to participate in sport, music, theatre, volunteering and social activities that are so much a part of the fun and belonging of life at St Chad's, and meals bursaries for students who struggle to pay for nourishing food and a Student Support Fund for those in unexpected financial hardship.

And here’s what our supporters have made possible in recent years.Chapel
As we emerged from the COVID pandemic, our beautiful old chapel was in a very poor state. With generous support we were able to replace the roof, repair the wooden cladding, and install new heating and lighting.
Our chapel is now home again not only to regular services and beautiful choral music, but also to some of our schools’ outreach work, academic and cultural events and, not least, a popular practice space for the bands, ensembles and music groups that flourish in Chad’s.
Gardens
A generous gift from an alumnus (and lots of volunteers), has helped us develop our gardens and add significantly to the biodiversity and beauty of the Bailey.
