This year’s NHEHS 2026 Bursary Ball which took place on Saturday 21st March was a great success with over 200 parents and guests attending. It was truly a memorable evening, with wonderful people, fantastic food, beautiful décor, and great music all coming together to create a stylish, vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere for all who attended. Thank you to all who came, those that donated and bid for auction prizes, and those that made pledges of support.

Thank you particularly to the Ball Committee, Pooja Aggarwal, Angela Braithwaite, Puja Dusad, Jenny Holden, Hailey MacDonald, Nina Patel, Amy Shah and Hollie Wright, and to everyone who contributed to making the evening such a success. We are extremely grateful for your continued support of this important cause. 

The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the auction, which generated great excitement and enthusiasm. Guests bid on a range of fantastic lots, including a much-anticipated pool party at school and the unique opportunity for a student to be Head for the Day—both of which were very warmly received.

Thanks to the generosity and support of our community, the event raised over £20,000 for the NHEHS Bursaries Fund. The impact of this support is significant, helping to provide life-changing opportunities for students. Please take just a few minutes to see this impact in action through this brand-new, brilliant video.

 While we celebrate this achievement, donations to NHEHS Bursaries remain very much ongoing. We would be incredibly grateful for any further support, either by making a one-off gift here – gifts of all sizes are greatly appreciated – or through joining the school’s award winning One Percent Club. 

The One Percent Club currently works out at just £17.80 a month if your daughter is in the Junior School, or £23.08 if your daughter is in the Senior School. By contributing an additional one percent of your school fees in this way, you can make a meaningful difference to the diversity of our school over the long term.
