With the aim to giving more children the opportunity to flourish, bursaries are awarded on the basis of a means-test form which requests full details of income and assets. Bursaries are reviewed each year and may change as a family’s financial situation changes. They are given for day places in years 7 to 13 only.

- Both parents self-employed on low income. Living in rented accommodation.
- Both parents employed with low incomes. Living in modest home with mortgage.
- One parent with moderate income. Living in rented accommodation.
