Godstowe School

This school in the Chilterns achieves outstanding results through a magic mix of passion, dedication and skilful teaching. It’s a surprise to discover it’s non-selective, but that’s only one way in which Godstowe is forward-looking. The energetic new head Kate Bailey embraces a modern approach to an all-girls boarding education, with confident, happy and successful pupils the proof that it’s an approach that works. Founded in 1900 (the school lays claim to being the first British prep school for girls – and it’s also rumoured to have been the inspiration ...

    Bursaries
    Godstowe offers means tested bursaries to girls who may otherwise be unable to attend the school due to financial constraints.  Bursaries are only offered to girls attending the Preparatory School (Years 3 to 8) however parents with children at any primary school may apply for a bursary during the preceding academic year in anticipation of entry into the Main Preparatory School. 

    A Bursary will normally be expressed as a percentage of the fees up to a maximum of 100%. In exceptional circumstances, further help may be available for uniform and school extras. Bursaries will be subject to annual means testing and may be varied up or down at the discretion of the Governors.

    The Bursary will be based on the financial circumstances of the family having regard to all pertinent considerations. (As a guide, it is unlikely that a Bursary will be awarded to a family with gross income in excess of £60,000pa and a bursary of 100% is unlikely unless the family gross income is less than £30,000pa.)
