Short film about life at our boarding school

The Trustees of the school offer each year a limited number of Foundationer boarder places to applicants who have a demonstrable need for boarding.

The main criterion is a lack of parental care where no other suitable care is available. This situation can arise through:

  • Death or permanent absence of one or both parents
  • Chronic mental or physical ill health of a parent
  • Parents who can no longer meet the daily needs of a child
  • Disability of a sibling of sufficient severity to affect the care and normal development of other children within the family
  • Abandonment or abuse of a child

The selection process for Foundationer places is totally different from the standard admissions process. There is an annual cycle of two or three assessment days for applicants for Foundationer places. Please contact Admissions for the timetables by emailing admissions@gatton-park.org.uk

Applications for such places should make it clear at the outset that they are for Foundationer places and not for general admissions.

The fees for such places are charged on a means-tested basis. Admission is usually into Year 3 and Year 7, though applications for other year groups may be considered under exceptional circumstances.

Please note that financial assistance will not be considered where a child has joined the school as a pupil before the application is made.

To enquire about specific cases, please contact the Headmaster directly at Headmaster@gatton-park.org.uk
