Bursaries and Scholarships

Within the limits of available funds, we are able to provide financial support with the fees in cases of need. Such bursaries are based on a declaration of family income and means tested. They are available from Year 3 upwards and will last throughout a pupil’s time at the school, subject to an annual declaration of income. They are dependent of course also on the pupil fulfilling the entrance requirements of the school.

The school also awards scholarships to the top performers in the Entrance Examinations, though these are essentially honorary in nature with an annual educational equipment grant of £100. Music Scholarships are available on entry in Year 7 or 9 which will provide a free instrumental or voice tuition. Again these are dependent on pupils fulfilling the entrance requirements and will be awarded on the basis of an audition. The award of a scholarship does not prevent parents also applying for financial assistance under the normal bursary criteria and assessment.

Scholarships into the Sixth Form are also available for both internal and external candidates. These can be in addition to bursaries and can provide up to 25% reduction in fees for the two years. They can be awarded as the result of a scholarship paper sat in November or in recognition of outstanding GCSE performance in the summer.

Further details are available on request from the Headmaster.

All applications for entry should be made on the appropriate Registration Form and returned to the Headmaster’s Secretary with the registration fee of £50.
