TLC The Learning Centre bursaries.

The bursary programme

Eligibility

To join the school, a child must have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Learners without an EHCP need to undergo the Education, Health and Care Assessment Request (ECHAR) process.

How bursary applications work

1. Register your child for a place before the registration deadline — a bursary is applied for alongside, not instead.
2. Complete the school's financial form (some schools use an external assessor) with P60s, tax returns, bank and savings statements.
3. Many schools arrange a home visit between the assessment and the offer.
4. The bursary decision usually arrives with, or shortly after, the offer — before you must accept.
5. Awards are reassessed each year, so a change in circumstances can change the award.
