Bursary

The school has a bursary scheme in place for students who are eligible to receive additional financial support whilst they are in the sixth form.  The school policy is based on advice from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) on the 16 to 19 bursary fund for the 2024 to 2025 academic year.  

The fund is intended to support students aged 16 to 19 in overcoming specific barriers to participation so they can remain in education.  We use the fund to provide students with support to fund:  

• Transport

• Books 

• Equipment

• Field trips and other course-related costs

• The costs of attending university interviews and open days

• Lunch

• School clothing

On occasions books or equipment purchased may be returnable at the end of the study programme.

This list is not exhaustive and other support may be given at the discretion of the Director of Sixth Form.  All support must be in line with the conditions of the 16-19 funding allocation.
