    Bursaries

    Bursary provision at the school is on a case by case basis. As a double choir school Choral Bursaries are a great option for boys who like to sing and can equate to the Choral Foundations of Winchester Cathedral and Winchester College paying a substantial amount towards fees, usually 40% with additional help available. The school also offers military families the Continuity in ÍÑ¿ã°É Allowance discount of 20% to provide all important stability to a boy's education. Other means tested bursaries may be available; please contact the school and they would be happy to discuss options.
