The Abbey School has increased its provision of bursaries in the Senior School to assist girls who would benefit significantly from an education at The Abbey and whose parents could not otherwise afford to send them. These bursaries are means-tested and parental assets and income are assessed and reviewed on an annual basis. Every case will be taken on its individual merits but, among those who qualify financially, the academic potential of the pupil will be the overriding factor. Bursaries of up to 100% of fees are possible.
All Senior School parents are eligible to apply for the award of a Bursary, the value of which is dependent upon the family’s financial circumstances. The majority of applications are made before a girl enters Upper III (Year 7) and decisions on Bursaries are made following the January Entrance Examinations; therefore all applications should be received by this date. However, the School is aware that family circumstances may change significantly during a child’s school life, so requests for applications at other times will be considered sympathetically if funds are still available.
Parents receiving bursary awards must submit a completed bursary application form annually. It is on the basis of the information and supporting documentation supplied that the bursary will be calculated for the following academic year.
Temporary Financial Assistance
Temporary Financial Assistance may be awarded to existing pupils for a maximum of two terms, the value of which is dependent upon the family’s financial circumstances.
Information
Any or all Scholarships, Bursaries and Music Awards may be held in conjunction with each other. Financial awards are not normally available to Junior School pupils. For further information please e mail bursaries@theabbey.co.uk.
