Detailed financial information is required on a bursary form to support an application for a bursary which will provide the Bursar with details of income and expenditure of the family, coupled with details of assets and liabilities. All information is, of course, kept strictly confidential. Each award is assessed on an individual basis and maybe reviewed annually in the light of changes in parental circumstances. The award is for the duration of the pupil's time in the Senior School subject to good conduct and progress.
Once completed, the form and supporting documentation, such as P60 or audited accounts, should be sent to the Bursar who will consider the application and advise you of the outcome.

They are awarded to pupils entering school at age 11 and 13 and subject to good conduct and progress, academic scholarships are for the duration of the pupil's time in the school. Entrance examinations normally take place at the end of February.
