Thank you to the Hymers Community who supported our inaugural Giving Day in June 2025. Collectively we raised nearly £85,000 including Gift Aid to support young people in Hull. We had a fun filled day at Hymers packed with activities, including Colour Runs, parent yoga, bake sales, parent 'Paint and Sip', 'Sponge a Teacher' and sponsored activities - thank you!

Currently, 82 academically gifted students aged 10–18 receive support from the John Hymers Bursary Scheme. Bursaries are awarded on a case-by-case basis, with some students receiving up to 100% of their school fees. Hymers has long symbolised excellence, raising aspirations and creating opportunities. Access to a Hymers education represents a transformational opportunity for the children on our doorstep to make the most of their potential.

The support we received during our Giving Day has been nothing short of remarkable. Your contributions to bursary places are already helping transform the lives of young people at Hymers, and we simply cannot let this momentum fade. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that Giving Day will return in 2026. This mission is too important to pause. Our Old Hymerian community continues to show how much they believe in giving the next generation the same chance they once had, and together, we can keep that legacy alive.
