​​​​​​​Financial assistance

Students who qualify for a place at the Foundation should not be prevented from taking up their place for financial reasons.

Junior SchoolWe offer financially assisted places to provide support for such students who apply.

Financial assistance can be applied for at our Junior Schools Dame Bradbury's and Fitzwilliam Building in Cambridge; Years 3-6, Senior School, and the Sixth Form.

Eligibility for financial assistance depends on financial, compassionate or other pertinent circumstances of applicants. It is awarded based on total parental income, with the level of assistance reviewed on an annual basis.

Application for a new Bursary

The bursary form is confidential and requires full information about the family’s financial circumstances, with supporting documentation. The school uses an independent company, Bursary Administration Ltd (BAL), to review and assess bursary applications.  Shortly after receipt of the application form BAL will arrange a home visit to talk through the financial circumstances form and discuss the application.  These visits are undertaken at the applicant’s home in a sensitive manner and all information is treated in the strictest confidence. The application and the BAL feedback will be submitted to the Bursary Committee at the School where a decision will be made about the value of the bursary that may be awarded.

Further information about the school's use of personal data can be found in the school's privacy notices.
