Bursaries
Purpose
The Trustees are committed to supporting parents on low incomes who would wish to access a place at the school but who cannot afford full fees.
Kindergarten
It would be unusual for a bursary award to be made in Kindergarten. If assistance is required at this stage, please contact the School Business Manager.
Bursary
The school’s Business Model allows for 30% of pupils in each of Years 1-5 (the Primary School Years) to be able to be in receipt of a Bursary if they meet the income threshold for a Bursary.
The Bursary is equivalent to a full term’s fee remission a year – a saving on fees of £2742.This reduces the monthly direct debit payments required from £685.50 to £457. If you feel you would like to be considered for a Bursary please discuss this in your first meeting with the Senior Manager with responsibility for Admissions who will put you in touch with the Business Manager.
Bursaries are considered by the School Management Team. You may be asked to meet with the School Business Manager to discuss your circumstances and provide any further supporting information before a decision is made, where any fee arrangement breaks down, or before a bursary is renewed. To be considered for a bursary, please download the policy and return a completed application form below.
