Walford is shaped by all of us
Together, we can grow something meaningful for every girl.
Walford is more than a school. It is a community shaped by the people within it.
The girls who cheer each other on.
The families who show up.
The teachers who go above and beyond.
The boarders who bring different perspectives and experiences into everyday life.
Together, these contributions shape the experience of every girl and create the sense of belonging, opportunity and shared purpose that makes Walford distinctive.
This year, our Annual Appeal is about being part of that shared effort, and we invite every family to take part.
Help strengthen our community today
How a shared effort makes opportunities possible
Scholarships make a profound difference to individual students and families, but their impact reaches further than one girl. They strengthen the community of which every Walford girl is a part.
In 2023, our community established the Frances Adamson Scholarship. Created through the generosity of our community, it reflects what we can achieve together, and has provided the opportunity for Keira to be part of Walford.
When we each contribute, we help ensure opportunities like this continue.
“From traditions like Glee to everyday moments in the Boarding House, there’s a strong sense of connection and belonging.
Walford has created an environment that truly feels like a home away from home, where people feel accepted and comfortable. When I first arrived, I felt a little overwhelmed, but I quickly realised that you can ask anyone for help and they will genuinely support you. That reflects the culture Walford has built—one where girls are empathetic, inclusive, and constantly uplift one another.
Being at Walford has opened up so many possibilities for me. It has inspired me to aim higher and see my future as full of opportunity.”

Be part of it
Our goal is for everyone to participate, because when we each give a little, we shape something meaningful for every girl.
We invite you to contribute in a way that feels right for you– whether that’s the cost of a coffee each week, or something different. Every contribution plays a part. Every gift, of every size, is valued.
Why Scholarships Matter
Scholarships help create:
- A richer learning environment with a broader mix of perspectives and experiences in every classroom.
- Stronger friendships and connections as girls learn alongside others with different backgrounds and life experiences.
- A more grounded, connected community that reflects the world beyond the School gates.
- Opportunities for more girls to contribute their talents, ideas and perspectives to an environment where they can thrive.
- A community shaped by people, not circumstance.
Other ways to give:
While this year’s Annual Appeal is centred on scholarships, you may choose to direct your gift to another area of the School that is meaningful to you, including the Building, Library or Sport/Rowing Fund.
