Thank you to the Hymers Community who supported our inaugural Giving Day in June. 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!

“We’ve been absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of the Hymers community – our alumni, students, parents, friends and partners. Their contributions are the difference between a student’s dreams being realised or lost. The spirit of generosity and unity shown throughout our first Giving Day reaffirms the strength of philanthropy within the Hymers community. It’s a powerful reminder of what makes our school so special"

Emily Pennack, Head of Development

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. For almost 132 years Hymers has provided an outstanding education to bright and hardworking young people. A flagship school of the North, Hymers has long symbolised excellence, raising aspirations and creating opportunities. Hull is the fourth most deprived area in the UK and with disadvantage deepening, access to a Hymers education represents a transformational opportunity for the children on our doorstep to make the most of their potential.
