Scholarships and Bursaries
Scholarships recognise exceptional talent. Bursaries open the school to pupils who would thrive here but whose families need help with fees.
Scholarships
Scholarships are awarded at 11+, 13+ and 16+ entry. They carry a fee reduction of up to 25%, and scholars join a programme of enrichment with high expectations. Scholarships may be combined with a bursary.

Help with Fees
