Bursaries and Fee 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.

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 sibling discount for families with two or more children.

Families with two children enrolled will receive a 10% discount on fees for the eldest child.

Families with three or more children will receive a 10% discount on the eldest child’s fees and a 5% discount on fees for each additional eligible sibling.

Allowances

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