Bursaries

The school’s Foundation Trustees offer a limited number of bursary Foundationer places each year to support children who require financial assistance and meet specific eligibility criteria. These bursaries are awarded to students with a demonstrable need for boarding, typically arising from challenging home circumstances. This may include cases where parental care is significantly impacted due to chronic mental or physical ill health of the parent, or where a sibling’s severe disability places considerable demands on family resources and care. Other specific criteria may also apply, and full details are available for prospective applicants here. Additionally, bursaries are provided for the children of stipendiary Clergy of the Church of England, ensuring support for families within this community.

The admissions process for Foundationer places differs from standard admissions. These places are means-tested, with children typically admitted into Year 3 or Year 7; however, exceptions are considered. Interested applicants should contact the Admissions team for details once they have established whether or not they meet the bursary criteria.

For Year 7 applicants seeking Flexi Boarding, the school provides a limited number of means-tested bursaries for those with a demonstrated need for Flexi Boarding due to a lack of parental care before and after school. Similar criteria apply, and financial assistance is contingent on completing a detailed bursary pack.
