Bursary forms are available from the School on request, and all parents wishing to be considered for a Bursary should complete and submit this form before 1st November in the year of application. Before requesting a Bursary form, parents must first register their daughter for a place.
Bursaries at Year 3

Bursaries are means tested in accordance with the School’s criteria. Both parents are required to provide proof of their income and assets. The level of support varies according to parental need and the funds available. Please note that for ad hoc admissions, the availability of Bursaries may be limited. Before the offer of a Bursary is confirmed, a member of staff and/or a member of the Governing Body may visit the family at their home.
Bursaries are reviewed annually and the School reserves the right to require parents to provide evidence of financial circumstances each year.
The retention of a Bursary, Scholarship or Subject Award will be dependent on continuing merit and satisfactory behaviour as judged by the Head.
