Bursary Scheme
We believe that a Redcliffe education is a very special one and our Bursary Scheme is designed to widen pupil access to Redcliffe School and ensure that the advantages given to our paying pupils are available to children from a broader spectrum of society.
The Scheme is designed to assist parents or prospective parents on low incomes who for financial reasons might otherwise be unable to send their child to the School. Bursaries are entirely means tested and are awarded on an annual basis to parents who are financially eligible and who meet the application requirements set out in our full policy. Potential pupils would be expected to fulfil the normal entry criteria for entry to Redcliffe School i.e. assessment at Redcliffe, interview with parents and satisfactory previous school reports.
Due to the limited financial resources of the School not every eligible application for a Bursary will be successful. All Bursary applications are treated in the strictest confidence. Pupils will not be made aware that they benefit from a bursary unless informed by their parents. These Bursaries will offer up to 100% remission of tuition fees plus the full costs of appropriate extras such as school trips (see detail below).
