Question 1

When do I apply for a Bursary? +?

Accepted Answer

When you submit your online registration form, you indicate on it that you are applying for a bursary, either full or partial.

Question 2

When do I get the bursary forms to fill in? +?

Accepted Answer

On completion of the registration form and payment of our registration fee of £60, our Admissions team will send you a Statement of Financial Circumstances Form (KSB1) which seeks to establish the financial circumstances of the household.

Question 3

Is there a threshold for a 100% Bursary? +?

Accepted Answer

As a guideline, in order to qualify for any level of assistance your household income should not exceed £90,000 per annum.

Question 4

What if I can afford some of the fees but not all? +?

Accepted Answer

We are very aware that school fees are a significant expense and we look to make plenty of awards at all levels. Last year besides free places we awarded partial bursaries ranging in amount from 15% to 99%. These examples may help to show the type of families who have been awarded bursaries in the past: Single parent family, one child, mother working in low income job, rented accommodation.

Question 5

Does my child have to be a stronger candidate than anyone else to get the bursary? +?

Accepted Answer

The number of bursaries available is limited and therefore academic performance also forms part of the application process.

Question 6

How many apply for bursaries and how many get them? +?

Accepted Answer

Every year is different, but it is normal for us to receive around 90 applications each year for the 5-10 places available in Year 7 and Sixth Form.

Question 7

What extras do you help with, on top of the Bursary? +?

Accepted Answer

For students joining in Year 7 in receipt of a bursary, we pay for their iPad and the Year 7 Residential Trip. Financial assistance may be available for trips to our bursary students. Further information can be sought from our Director of Finance .

Question 8

Are Bursary holders identified in any way? +?

Accepted Answer

The School is enormously proud of its bursary holders but we do not identify them in any way. Most of the students who benefit from a bursary are proud and happy to share this information. We often find that our older pupils want to act as Ambassadors to both encourage other students to apply, and donors to be generous.
