Bursaries and Discounts
Means-tested bursarial assistance is available to families where a boarding style of education is a particular need
Applicants must satisfy the normal academic criteria for entry.
Examples of qualifying circumstances usually include some form of trauma in the family such as: where there is only one parent; where one or both parents are seriously ill; where there is a chronically ill or disabled sibling demanding much attention and time with the result that the parent is unable to devote enough time to the child's needs. The children of clergy, missionaries and other special circumstances might be considered.
The level of bursary awarded depends on the family's total income and assets. Each case is assessed annually in the light of any changed circumstances, and whilst there is no undertaking to align any increases with any rise in the school fees, once awarded a bursary normally applies for the duration of a pupil's school career. Our objective is to ensure that assistance is sufficient to cover the child's continuance at the School.
Strong links with the City Livery Companies and other charitable institutions enable us to recommend other sources of funding in cases of additional support. Whilst typically bursary support can be up to 50% of the fees, these can help raise the level of support of our most deserving pupils to something approaching 100% of fees.
Discounts for Forces Children
Children of serving members of any of the armed forces will be considered for a discount.
