The Egerton Schools' Foundation

General information

Egerton Primary School Knutsford was established by Lord Wilbraham Egerton of the Tatton Estate in 1893. His nephew Maurice Egerton, founded the link school in Kenya in 1939. Amazingly, the two schools did not know about each other until 2005 but since then both schools have worked tirelessly to forge strong links through project work and exchange visits.

As a result, the partnership that exists between Egerton Kenya and Egerton Knutsford is unique. Many schools across the world are twinned and whilst many of these partnerships are successful and flourish, none have the unique heritage of the Egerton Schools. This shared heritage, along with the strong relationship that exists between the head teachers and staff at both schools, has created a strong and vibrant partnership that is deeply embedded in all that is done at both schools.

Through the work of our foundation the children & staff of both schools have gained an enhanced understanding of life in Kenya and the UK, enjoyed an enriched, diverse curriculum and ultimately all of this has further ignited their future aspirations.

The work of our foundation is only possible due to fundraising, donations & corporate partner support. We’ve already enjoyed considerable support but our ambitions are set high and there’s still a great deal we want to achieve.
