Bursaries
All bursary applications have to show that financial assistance with the payment of fees is needed. New bursary applications are considered each year and decisions are usually made in March for students entering the school in the following September. It may be possible to give very general indications in advance, but these cannot be taken as assurances. Once awarded each bursary is reviewed on an annual basis and parents are notified of the value of the award for the next academic year.
