Impact Statement
We host a Creative Education day in June every year. The purpose of which is to give the local children the opportunity to participate in our creative curriculum, notably Art, DT, Food Tech, Sport, Music, Drama and Dance. In addition, we invite local state schools to watch our pupils perform our annual whole school musical production in February of each year. We host masterclasses twice a term on Saturday mornings on all subjects of the curriculum on a rotational basis. This academic year for example we have hosted masterclasses on History, Mandarin, Outdoor Learning and Geography. We also p[provide some outreach programmes in local state schools. For example one of our art teachers will attend a local state school and give an art class lasting two hours. We have a good range of sporting facilities which we offer to local sporting clubs and the most common one so far is the local football and rugby clubs.
Scholarships
We offer a range of scholarships for entry into Year 7, Year 9 and the Sixth Form. The value of a scholarship award is between 7.5% and 12.5% reduction in fees and entry onto a subject specific scholarship programme. The following scholarships are available at all three entry levels:
Academic: Pupils who are awarded Academic Scholarships need to demonstrate an aptitude in English, Mathematics and Science and in two other academic subjects. Academic Scholarships attract a 12.5% fee remission.
Performing Arts: Pupils awarded a scholarship in Performing Arts need to demonstrate an aptitude in at least one of Drama, Music or Dance. Performing Arts scholarships attract a 7.5% fee remission if awarded in one discipline; 10% if awarded in two; 12.5% if awarded in all three.
Creative Arts: Pupils awarded a scholarship in Creative Arts need to demonstrate an aptitude in at least one of Art & Design or Design Technology. Creative Arts scholarships attract a 7.5% fee remission if awarded in one discipline; 10% if awarded in two.
Sport: Sport Scholarships attract a 7.5% fee remission.
Pupils can only be awarded one scholarship. There may be occasions when pupils on bursaries are also awarded scholarships, but the combined total will not exceed 50%.
Bursaries
Pupils new to the School must make an application for a bursary at the time of application to the School. For existing parents whose financial circumstances change during the time their child is at School, individual representations can be made directly to the Headmaster and Bursar. Priority consideration is given to those pupils who are in the final year of a GCSE or A level courses, i.e. in Years 11 and 13. The vast majority of all bursarial awards are 50% or less for current pupils, and 30% or less for new pupils.
The Governing Body has ultimate responsibility for the awarding of all awards and will, as a matter of routine, delegate detailed analysis of bursarial applications to an external agency who will liaise directly with parents in the first instance. The award of all bursaries is also based on the extent to which the School considers that the individual pupil can contribute most to and gain most from the educational experience at Bethany. These are normally means-tested every year (on income and capital), to ensure the School is scrupulous about fairness. For more details please contact the Registrar or the Bursary.
