Bursaries and Fees Assistance

Bursaries

As well as Scholarships, we are able to offer fees assistance through means-tested Bursaries, based on parental income. These can help if your family is not in a position to cover the full fees. They can be awarded in conjunction with a Scholarship and form part of our Transformational Scholarships application process. 

Applicants will be asked to submit evidence of income and other financial information and this will be reviewed annually. There is a finite amount of capital in the bursary scheme, therefore the number of bursaries is limited.

Sibling Discount

We offer a generous Sibling Discount Scheme for pupils joining in the Prep or Senior School:

• 2 siblings concurrently at the school – 5% remission for the youngest child.
• 3 siblings concurrently at the school – 20% remission for the youngest child.
• 4 siblings concurrently at the school – 30% remission for the youngest child.

Allowances

In addition to bursaries and scholarships, we also offer a number of allowances to help with school fees:
