Bold Girls

Save the Date! ‘Be Bold Together’ Celebration 27th June 2026.

We believe that being a Bold Girl definitely deserves a few benefits!

Sign up to our new alumnae portal here where you can network with each other and we can keep in touch with you as you’ll be in charge of your own profile and contact details. Then you’ll receive: 

  • Bi-annual newsletter, keeping you up to date with all our news.
  • Early bird tickets for our wonderful drama productions and concerts
  • Invitation to our annual ‘Be Bold Together’ summer event 
  • 15% discount on school fees (first two years) where a Bold Girl introduces a new student to the school
  • 20% venue hire discount when hiring any of our facilities

Can you help support the next generation of Bold Girls?

As our alumnae you represent what it means to be Tomorrow’s Women, inspiring future generations of girls to be the very best version of themselves; to be bold, to be confident, to be passionate, to be kind and compassionate. Above all, your support could make a real difference to girls whose lives could be transformed by the excellent education that Burgess Hill Girls offers.

So how can you support us?

  • Sign up to our new alumnae portal where you can network with each other and we can keep in touch with you as you’ll be in charge of your contact details.
  • Donate regularly to our BOLD FUTURES campaign to help fund new bursaries or initiatives such as a new outdoor classroom for the Prep School, via the alumnae portal.
  • Support students by providing work experience opportunities, share your story at an assembly, be a speaker at Tomorrow’s Women Conference, or invite girls to attend events you may be hosting, giving them an insight into your industry sector. 
  • Follow, like, comment, tag and share our social media posts or even tag us in on your own posts where relevant!
  • Arrange Bold Girls events regionally to help build our alumnae network.

Bold Futures, our bursary fundraising initiative.

Over the years, hundreds of bursaries have been awarded, positively transforming the lives of  many students. Our aim is to fill our school with bright, talented girls, and we are proud that this ongoing commitment to bursary provision allows us to offer outstanding educational opportunities to students regardless of their families financial circumstances.  Many of these students have gone on to do remarkable things, shaping and changing the world we live in.  

But we want to do more. We are reaching out to Bold Girls, current and former parents, and staff to ask for support to raise enough money in the first year to support 5 new bursary places from September 2026 entry, to 5 girls who have the academic ability but not the means.

Ideally we’re looking for regular donations, from as little as £10 per month, to help us plan the bursaries we can provide to girls who would benefit from the wonderful educational opportunities that Burgess Hill Girls offers. Simply sign up to the alumnae portal here to create your own profile and therefore the ability to donate.  

If you can, please think about donating regularly – any support will be much appreciated. One off payments and or a legacy payment would also be wonderful. Thank you. 

 

Bold Girls, our amazing alumnae

When pupils leave Burgess Hill Girls our aim is that they have all the self-belief, determination, and life skills they need to follow and achieve their dreams, whatever they may be.

They don’t become Old Girls. They become Bold Girls.

Burgess Hill Girls has a formidable history of developing women who have gone on to make their mark on the world. From the Willoughby sisters, Kelly and Holly, Neuroscientist Professor Francesca Happé to Diversity Champion and Lawyer Funke Abimbola MBE. We are also very fortunate to have six inspirational Bold Girls amongst our staff, Head of Drama Emma Cassim, Prep school teacher Greer Williams, Digital marketing Officer, Mia Arditi, Lead Nursery Practitioners Ellie Catford and Sophie Noakes, and our school nurse, Liz Hall.

These and many other Bold Girls make regular visits back to Burgess Hill Girls, sharing their life stories and encouraging pupils to set their sights high. One of our most recent visitors was recording artist Lily Williams. Watch the video below to learn about her story. You can also read news of other Bold Girls here.
