Bursaries
Shrewsbury House offers bursaries to able children who could benefit from an education at the school, no matter their personal circumstances. The school offers means-tested bursaries to new pupils who qualify, and has a hardship fund for existing pupils whose financial circumstances have changed. Bursaries can cover up to 100% of fees according to need. Applications are judged against suitability, both academically and regarding wider school life, as well as need. The application process takes into account a full financial history and is subject to an annual means-testing review and may be varied up or down at the discretion of the Governors. The School uses a specialist third party organisation, Bursary Administration Limited (BAL), to assess bursary applications.
