The School is proud of its range of scholarships and bursaries, the scholarships to recognise ability and the bursaries on a means-tested basis. We are very keen to extend these and make it possible for talented girls to join the School who through financial circumstances would not otherwise be able to do so.
We are therefore launching the Miss Macdonald Bursary Fund, in recognition of the much revered former Headmistress (1935 to 1960). Miss Macdonald was very proud of her Irish roots, reflected in the beautiful stained glass window depicting St Patrick that was donated by the Old Girls’ Association. This is also a most fortuitous link with our current Headmistress, Mrs Stanley.
The Bursary Fund has been given a most welcome start by a donation from the Parents’ Association. We hope that over the next few months others will be equally generous and that we shall be able to provide at least one full bursary for September 2010.
