What else do I need to know?

The School reserves the right to withhold the bursary if students fail to meet expectations for attendance and behaviour. One-off purchases are more likely to get approved than repeat subscriptions. You may be required to provide evidence of parental income. The School is looking to establish that you are in financial need and, in relation to the discretionary bursary, that you are in need of specific items or services relating to your education.
