Financial support with school fees is available in the form of a bursary. A bursary is a discount on school fees, which can be up to 100%, depending on a family’s financial situation, compassionate reasons, or other relevant circumstances.
There are two main situations where bursary support may be considered:
- New applicants (Year 3 and above): Families who have been offered a place but are unable to fund tuition fees.
- Current pupils: Families experiencing a sudden and unexpected change in circumstances that makes it difficult to continue paying fees, which may risk the child having to leave the school partway through their education.
Bursary awards are reviewed every year, and the amount of support may increase or decrease based on changes in a family’s financial circumstances. Awards are based on the school’s confidential bursary scale, which takes into account income, savings, assets, family size and any dependents. This scale is updated annually by the Bursar and approved by the Board of Governors.
While the bursary scale provides a guide, each case is assessed individually. Adjustments may be made depending on specific financial, compassionate, or other relevant factors.
Families wishing to apply for a bursary must submit a completed Bursary Application Form along with their Registration Form for a school place.
A copy of our Bursary Policy and Bursary Application Form is available below.
Please note that the number of bursary requests often exceeds the funds available, and we regret that support cannot be guaranteed for all applicants.
