Bancroft’s Foundation events are a chance to connect, celebrate and support. Whether you're a former pupil, parent, staff member or friend of the School, you're always part of our community.
We host a selection of events each year. If you’d like to talk about future events or sponsorship opportunities, please contact foundation@bancrofts.org.
Join us for an an inspiring and exclusive evening celebrating the journeys and achievements of Old Bancroftians beyond the school gates.
Begin the evening with a welcome cocktail and canapés, followed by engaging and insightful talks from an outstanding panel of OB guest speakers:
Paul Campbell – Founder of Hill Capital Partners
David Abrahamovitch – CEO & Founder of Grind & Co
Alex Cheatle – Group CEO & Co-Founder of Ten Lifestyle Group plc
Marc Summers – Founder of Bubala
Entrepreneurial journeys are rarely linear. They demand curiosity, resilience, independent thinking and the confidence to take risks—qualities that are deeply rooted in a Bancroft’s education. This evening will explore how those formative values, developed within the Bancroft’s community, continue to shape and influence success far beyond the school gates.
From scaling global service platforms and challenger consumer brands to building some of London’s most celebrated hospitality concepts, our speakers will share candid insights into the opportunities, challenges and defining moments that have shaped their paths.
This is a fantastic opportunity to reconnect, expand your network, and enjoy a relaxed and welcoming evening with the Bancroft’s community.
