The John Mayne Trust was set up in the 1980s following the sale of the school house and investment of the money raised through the sale. The interest from the money invested is used to promote the education, including social and physical training of boys and girls in Biddenden. The beneficiaries must be pupils or ex-pupils of John Mayne School under the age of 25. The Trust gives grants for students going to university, college or starting an apprenticeship, helping with start-up costs, books and equipment as well as offering school pupils financial support for extra-curricular activities. These may include sports, music and the arts.

The Trust meets three times a year, every September, January and May to award grants. A reminder of the deadline for requests will be circulated to current school pupils, can be found in the letter you were sent with a previous grant or you may check by contacting us at johnmaynetrust@hotmail.com   Grants are always made according to the funds available at that time of year and we cap the amount received annually by each family.
