ENTRY BURSARIES

A number of means-tested bursaries are awarded annually to new boys where parents are unable to pay the full tuition fee.

Applicants will be considered on the basis of their performance in the entrance examination and interview. Parents will be asked to complete a confidential statement of financial circumstances which, if they are offered an award, will be reviewed annually.

Parents interested in applying for an entry bursary for September 2011, should tick the appropriate box on the registration form.

AWARD OF BURSARIES TO SUPPLEMENT SCHOLARSHIPS

A College Scholarship may be supplemented by an entry bursary if there is genuine financial need. Such bursaries are means-tested.
