The Governors are committed to broadening access to Moulsford by offering means-tested financial support with the payment of fees to eligible parents/guardians.
What Are Independent School Bursaries?
Known as a School Bursary, this support may be awarded depending on the financial, compassionate or other pertinent family circumstances.
Awards are made after visits, and via the outside organisation Bursary Administration, at the discretion of the Bursary Awards Committee, who will calculate award levels in relation to a family's financial circumstances. Our school bursary awards are subject to repeat testing of parental means each year and may be varied upwards or downwards, depending on parental circumstances.
Requests for financial support usually fall into two categories:
- New applicants to our independent school, where a place has been offered but parents/guardians are unable to fund the tuition fees and/or other costs in full or part.
- Existing pupils where a change in parents’/guardians’ circumstances has resulted in difficulty in meeting tuition fees and may result in the child being withdrawn part way through a stage of education.
For more information on how to apply for a school bursary, please contact the admissions team.
Do you need to pay back a bursary?
No, a Bursary is not a loan and financial assistance does not need to be repaid.
