The School is committed to broadening access by offering to eligible parents/guardians means-tested financial support with the payment of school fees. Such support is known as a Bursary and Bursaries may be awarded in the form of a discount of up to 100 per cent on tuition fees payable, depending on the financial, compassionate or other relevant circumstances of applicants.
Parents should read this policy carefully before submitting an application for Bursary support, and in particular, the part of Section 4 “The Case for Assistance”. A family income of >£70,000 p.a., significant savings or investments, and the ownership of property other than the home in which the child resides, are very likely to disqualify bursary applications and parents in these circumstances should not apply.
The guiding principles for the award of Bursaries are as follows:-
- Bursaries may be up to 100% of tuition fees and are unlikely to be awarded for amounts less than 40%;
- the School may, at the discretion of the Headmaster and the Bursar, make additional awards over and above the cost of the tuition fees for specific activities, such as coach travel or essential educational trips; and
- There is a presumption that the pupil will be worthy of an award and eligible for entry to the School.
Please note that the School does not have unlimited funds for bursary support, and so the offer of a place does not confer an entitlement to bursary support, even if the criteria might be met.
Detailed financial information will be requested by Bursary Administration Limited on our behalf.
Bursary Administration Limited will carry out home visits as required during the second week of January.
