INFO DESKS @the_isba Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation (RNCSF) RNCSF works across the UK’s boarding and independent school sector to expand the number of 110 percent bursary places (those that cover all fees and extras) and ensure that these opportunities are targeted towards young people who most need them; children in or on the edge of care, or growing up in households within areas of the UK where opportunities to flourish are limited. RNCSF identifies, prepares and supports pupils to ensure that they thrive in bursary placements, and their 95 percent retention rate is testament to the scaffolding that they put in place with community partners, charities and local authorities to aid transition. RNCSF is now looking to scale its impact by building its network of accredited schools, increasing the number of SpringBoarders they support, and amplifying the potential role that bursaries can play in helping to address social mobility and lift outcomes for children in care.
