Scholarships & Bursaries

dreaming spiresBursaries

Sidcot is not only a school, it is a charity and even more importantly, as a Quaker organisation it is determined to do its best for those children whose parents may not be able to afford the school fees. Parents of pupils may apply for a Bursary at the time of application via a financial review form. All forms will be assessed according to individual means; and a Committee will ensure that the amount of money that we have available to help children, is distributed fairly.

Bursaries may be available in cases of financial hardship as a result of a change in circumstances. They are only available to existing pupils. The same financial review form will be used to assess need and an award made accordingly.

We do not have huge reserves to draw from, so funds for bursaries are limited. However, we are determined to ensure they reach the most appropriate students, not just so that we remain within the Charity Commission guidelines, but so that we can be fair to all in the Sidcot community.

Scholarships

In light of the Charity Commission Guidelines, we are reviewing the role of Scholarships at Sidcot, as we want to continue to recognise and celebrate an individual's talent and contribution to school life. Scholarships awarded in future will no longer carry an automatic discount in fees. Everyone in the school is being consulted on how we should mark the award of a Scholarship in future and a decision on the rewards of a Scholarship will be announced in September 2010.
