Bramley was established as a Charitable Trust in 1975, and takes its responsibilities very seriously.  It has close links with the wider community and actively seeks ways to develop these further.

For example:

• local Senior Citizens are invited to school events such as the Christmas carol concert, summer theatre productions and Harvest Festival, when the girls also collect and distribute Harvest baskets to the school's neighbours;

• the school choir sings in local nursing homes; 

• the school takes an annual family service at St Peter's Church and enjoys monthly assemblies taken by the local Rector; 

• the school organises fundraising activities and supports several local charities such as Leatherhead Night Shelter for which they collect items such as toothbrushes and toothpaste; 

• the school made a substantial financial donation to the local community project to construct a multi-use games area (MUGA). 

Printer cartridges are recycled in aid of the RNIB, mobile telephones recycled in aid of Children in Need, the girls wear jeans to school on Jeans for Genes Day to raise money for children with genetic disorders and they raise money for the Poppy Appeal.

Bramley is also linked overseas via the Charity African Revival to Okungeddi School in Northern Uganda.  Staff and pupils continually hold fundraising activities to raise money to provide the school with much-needed resources and facilities, and letters are shared between the pupils of both schools, thus allowing the girls to develop their understanding of a global community. A joint initiative with the local Brownies also raised more money for them to send to the school.
