PwC’s Debt & Capital Advisory team is pleased to have advised Alleyn’s School on securing a new financing package provided by HSBC. The facility will support the school's strategic investment of its site, centred on a sustainable, purpose-built dining hall alongside broader campus enhancements, and it will enable Alleyn’s to continue to provide the very best education and school experience for its pupils.
Alleyn’s School, located in Dulwich, South London, is one of the UK’s leading co-educational day schools and was recently named Co-educational Independent School of the Year 2025. Catering for pupils aged 4–18 across its Junior and Senior Schools, Alleyn’s is recognised for its academic excellence, strong pastoral care and a forward-looking approach to teaching and learning. Its 18-acre campus blends Victorian heritage buildings with state-of-the-art facilities, including award-winning performance spaces, specialist science and innovation hubs, and extensive sports amenities.
HSBC has provided a tailored green financing solution designed to offer flexibility, enabling the School to continue investing in its long-term strategy and enhancing the pupil experience, whilst reflecting Alleyn’s commitment to achieving net zero across its estate.
PwC acted as exclusive financial adviser to the School, supporting the assessment of funding options, lender engagement and the structuring of a flexible facility aligned with a phased development timetable.
Claire Morgan, Chief Financial Officer at Alleyn’s School commented:
“It is very important that we are able to invest in our school to make sure we can provide a first class education for pupils now and in the future. We’re very pleased to be working with PwC and HSBC to do this, and delighted that the project aligns with Alleyn’s commitment towards sustainability in all areas of school life.”
Jane Lunnon, Head, Alleyn’s School said:
“We are absolutely delighted to be working with PwC and HSBC to meet the school’s strategic goals and to continue to provide a first-class education for children who come here. This partnership helps us create strong foundations for the future, in a school site fit for the future, whilst maintaining the integrity of our school values: Respect, Opportunity, Courage, Curiosity and Kindness.”
