Bursaries
The school offers bursaries to benefit families who would not otherwise be able to come to Holme Grange. These bursaries are not dependent on ability but the child will have an assessment which will allow the School to ensure that both the children and the School are able to gain full benefit from the Bursary. Families are welcome to apply for a Bursary at any time during the year preceding preferred entry. Applications for year groups more than one academic year in the future are not accepted.
The financial circumstances of both parents and of any current partner of one or both parents, will be taken into account along with social security benefits and other financial details. These will include both capital and current income. Any awards made will be subject to annual review.
Proof of income will be required and applications will be subject to scrutiny by the School and may be examined by independent auditors. Applications will be treated in strict confidence.
