A Bursary is an award of financial support to a pupil to help towards paying school and boarding fees.  The school aims to be a place where all students can thrive, regardless of means.  Applications are assessed by the Director of Finance and Operations and agreed by a Bursary Committee.

A Scholarship is awarded based on the the merit of the student in a certain faculty of school life: this could be either sport, music or academia, and they are awarded at the Head’s discretion. Bursaries, however, are given to those who require financial aid.  Parents may apply for assistance and a Bursary Committee review applications to ensure awards are as fair as possible and also within the means of the school.

Several factors come into consideration when deciding whether or not your child will receive a Bursary, such as the financial situation of both parents and the potential benefits for the child and the school’s available funds. After acquiring this information, the Bursary Committee will decide whether or not your child will be granted a Bursary. All applications are rigorously means tested and reviewed on an annual basis, ensuring that the selection process is as fair as can be and that it caters to those who need it most.
