Means Tested Bursaries

The level of support awarded is not decided by a child’s level of academic ability but by the extent of the financial need and Pennthorpe’s available resources. All bursaries awarded are means tested on an annual basis.

There is no shortage of deserving cases, and demand often exceeds supply. The majority of awards are likely to be modest and will serve to bridge a gap between the cost of fees and what parents are genuinely able to afford. Awards are only granted to children entering Year 3 or above.

Bursaries can be applied for at any point in the academic year, but are drawn from a finite fund, set aside each academic year; once that fund is allocated no further bursaries will be available until the following academic year.

Awards & Scholarships

Through awards and scholarships, Pennthorpe opens the door to countless enrichment opportunities, designed to stretch and challenge our most talented children. The enrichment programmes give the opportunity to recognise, celebrate and nurture excellence from both current pupils and those wishing to join the school. The recipients of awards and scholarships enrich the life of the school by their attitude and their actions. They enjoy a robust and diverse enrichment programme, developing their abilities through additional workshops, speakers, visits and challenges. No pressure is necessary to fulfil potential but the opportunities are vast and are successful in enabling children to further explore their gifts, talents and abilities.
