Means-tested bursaries

We offer means-tested bursaries for new pupils joining Year 7 and sixth form. These may cover the full fee or part of the fee, depending on household income. Our bursaries are offered to pupils who rank highly in the senior school entrance exam (Year 7 bursaries) or have excellent GCSE grades (sixth form bursaries) and whose families meet our financial criteria. We do not offer scholarships based solely on academic or sporting ability.

Bursaries are awarded based on household income and the cut-off is £60,000 pa.  The table below gives an overview of the bursary bands:

For more details on our income bands please refer to our bursary policy.

Please note, the deadline for bursary applications for entry to Year 7 in September 2019 has passed and we are only accepting bursary applications for entry into Year 12.

Bursaries are offered following a rigorous means-testing process which includes a home visit and an assessment of your child’s academic performance but please be aware that while our bursary funds are growing steadily, there is extremely high competition for the awards with typically 10 applications for every Year 7 bursary and three per sixth form bursary.

Music Scholarships

We have a proud music tradition and music is an essential part of school life. We offer a small number of music scholarships to new pupils joining the school in Year 7 and, depending on the scholar’s musical ability, the scholarship is worth either a 20% reduction on school fees or covers the cost of instrumental lessons.

Music scholarship applications involve an audition and as competition is high we expect applicants to be approaching or at Grades 4 or 5, preferably on an orchestral instrument. However, this is not essential. Music scholarships are offered to applicants who have satisfied our entrance  requirements, both in the academic examination and at interview.

In order to apply for a music scholarship, please indicate your interest on our online application form.
