Parents interested in their child being considered for a Music Scholarship or an Art Scholarship should write to the Registrar by Monday 7th December 2009 expressing their interest. Details outlining the procedure will then be forwarded.

Bursaries

A limited number of means-tested bursaries may be awarded according to financial need so as to make the school accessible to bright children whose parents are unable to afford the full fees.

Bursaries may be awarded in conjunction with scholarships and, in cases of extreme hardship, may also be extended to include assistance with travel, lunches, uniform or other 'extras'.

The provision of bursaries for new pupils will only be considered if application in made prior to the entrance examination, or subsequently only in the event of an unforeseen and significant change in circumstances.

The parents of any candidate wishing to seek such assistance should mark their Registration Form accordingly. Completed Statement of Financial Circumstances forms must be returned to the Registrar by Monday 25th January 2010 to be eligible for consideration for September 2010 entry.
