Fees and bursaries
Please don’t let your financial circumstances prevent you from making an application if you believe your son or daughter would do well at GSAL. We have a number of means-tested bursaries for those parents who cannot afford our fees. These are available for new pupils joining us in Year 7 and the Sixth Form.
Bursaries can cover the full fee or part of the fee.
If you wish to apply for a bursary, please indicate this in the relevant section of the Application Form. Your son or daughter will go through our normal selection procedure (this is, entrance exam and/or interview). If a place is offered, we can then consider your request for financial support. While our bursary funds are growing steadily, please be aware that not everyone who applies is successful.

Children attending The Grammar School at Leeds are currently eligible for the Nursery Education Grant up to and including the term in which the child reaches the age of 5.
The first 15 hours of Early Years Foundation Stage education are delivered completely free of charge. The balance of fees payable for the term are due entirely in respect of the additional hours your child attends the school.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- There is a £25 Application Fee per pupil.
- There is a £200 New Pupil Acceptance Deposit -payable when a new pupil is accepted – which is refundable when the pupil leaves the school, less any monies outstanding.
- Lunches are not included in the fees. Rose Court and Junior School lunches are invoiced separately, half a term’s notice is required. Senior School pupils pay using a pre-paid card system.
- A full term’s notice is required to remove a pupil from the school. This must be given, in writing, to the Principal, in order to avoid fees in lieu being incurred.
