Scholarships & Bursaries

Bursaries

Manor House School has a long history of providing financial assistance to pupils and families in need and the resultant diversity in pupil population is seen by the School as an important component of a full and balanced education.

Means tested bursaries are awarded on an annual basis and may include a small amount to assist with additional costs such as uniform, where appropriate. Manor House School remains committed to the aim of providing public benefit in accordance with its founding principles and legislative requirements.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A BURSARY?

You are eligible to apply for a bursary if you are considering sending your child to the School and they have been through the application process and successfully been offered a School place.  You will also be eligible if your child is already at the school but your family circumstances have changed and you find the fees are no longer affordable.

HOW DO I APPLY FOR A BURSARY?

HOW IS IT DETERMINED WHO IS OFFERED A BURSARY?
