Scholarships and Bursaries

Scholarships

King Edward’s awards a number of attractive scholarships each year to pupils evidencing exceptional achievement and potential to enrich our community in a range of areas within our applications process:

Academic Scholarships

For year 7 and year 9 entry, the scholarship application form, available on request from our admissions office, must be completed by 1st November in year of entry. For sixth form entry, no further application form is required and academic achievement will be considered within our overall application process.

Co-curricular and subject specific scholarships

We are pleased to offer scholarships in Art, Design Technology, Drama, Music, Sport to allow those pupils most committed to activities in these areas to flourish to their fullest potential.

For year 7 and year 9 entry, the scholarship application form, available on request from our admissions office, must be completed by 1st November in year of entry. Our scholarships assessment day is then held in February. For sixth form entry, no further application form is required and achievements in these areas will be considered within our overall application process.

Bursaries

Bursarial assistance (provided by the School’s Foundation and the City of London, usually to a maximum of 50% of the fees) is offered to families where boarding or our style of education is a particular need. Applicants must satisfy the normal academic criteria for entry. Examples of qualifying circumstances usually include some form of trauma in the family such as the loss of a parent, where one or both parents are seriously ill or where there is a chronically ill or disabled sibling demanding much attention and time, with the result that the parent is unable to devote enough time to the child’s needs. The children of clergy, missionaries, along with those experiencing exceptional circumstances, may also be considered.

The level of bursary awarded depends on the family’s total income and assets and need as outlined. Our objective is to ensure that assistance is sufficient to cover the child’s continuance at the School.

Each case is assessed annually in the light of any changed circumstances and, whilst there is no undertaking to align any increases with any rise in the school fees, once awarded, a bursary normally applies for the duration of a pupil’s school career at King Edward’s.

Strong links with the City Livery Companies and other charitable institutions enable us to recommend other sources of funding in cases of additional need. These can help raise the level of support for those in greatest need to something approaching 100% of fees. Additional means-tested support is available to current pupils for some school trips and instrumental music lessons.
