Giving Day 2026

Giving Day is a dedicated 36-hour fundraising event that brings together pupils, parents, staff and Seniors in support of key School priorities. It is an opportunity for our whole community to come together, celebrate what we value and help advance projects that will strengthen the School for generations to come. 

Last year’s Giving Day, which supported enhancements to our libraries, was a tremendous success. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised over £150,000 from more than 400 donors and will finish delivering a series of improvements in summer 2026, creating spaces that continue to inspire curiosity and a love of reading. 

Giving Day 2026 will take place on 12–13 March 2026 and turns our attention to two priorities central to the School’s Strategic Direction: enhancing the Sixth Form experience and broadening access through bursaries. We plan to transform and expand our existing Sixth Form spaces, relocating them to the heart of the Abbey. The new hub will provide a purposeful and welcoming environment for our oldest pupils designed to support independent study, collaboration and leadership. This renovation is scheduled for completion in summer 2026. Alongside this, expanding bursary provision will enable more exceptional young women to benefit from all that Wycombe Abbey offers, enriching the life of the School and strengthening our commitment to opportunity. 

Giving Day invites every member of our community to play a part in shaping the next chapter of Wycombe Abbey and in helping every girl fulfil her potential with confidence.
