| Scholarships and Exhibitions: are financial awards given by the Master for excellence in one or more academic or extra-curricular areas. Exhibitions have a smaller value than Scholarships. The financial value of both is modest, and they are not subject to means testing.
Bursaries: All successful applicants, irrespective of receiving a Scholarship or Exhibition, are entitled to apply for a Governors’ Bursary. Bursaries (as their name suggests) are offered by the Bursar after a review of parental financial circumstances. Bursaries will vary in value from 10% to 100% of annual fees, with most being in the region of 25% ro 50% of fees.
Honorary Scholarships and Exhibitions: Honorary awards do not carry any less esteem within the school, or to wider communities such as universities, but they do not have a financial value. In order to maximise financial efficiency and educational benefit, no pupil may hold more than one Scholarship or Exhibition bringing with it financial recompense: the second and any subsequent award will always be Honorary. In certain circumstances Honorary awards may be made to those who are already members of the school who have progressed in the school to such a standard that their achievements merit wider recognition.
Governors' Presentation Awards: These are made to a pupil on entering the school as a recognition of talent and potential. A Presentation Award offers a reduction of £500 in the first year of fees. It does not automatically entitle the holder to assessment for means-tested Bursarial assistance but is given as a recognition of potential, which might develop into the eventual award of a Scholarship or Exhibition.
