Assisted Places

Who Is Eligible?

Assisted Places are available to families after a confidential review of household income, with reassessments conducted annually. It’s also essential that candidates meet our minimum entry requirements to ensure a mutual fit.

How to Apply

Step 1

Applicants will be required to complete an Initial Assessment of Income Form (IAIF) via our School website. This seeks outline financial information and no supporting financial documentation is required at this stage. The deadline for the completion of this form is 2 weeks prior to the registration deadline and must be adhered to.

Step 2

Applicants who have met the financial criteria will be asked to register via our website and the registration fee will be reduced for these applicants. Applicants who have not met the financial criteria at this stage will have the opportunity to apply for a full fee-paying place and will be required to register and pay the full registration fee for their child’s application to proceed.

Step 3

After registration, which must be completed by the publicised deadline, parents/Guardians will be asked to complete a more detailed Statement of Financial Circumstances on a Financial Disclosure Form (FDF) for the tax year then current. At this stage copies of documents are required to support the application.

Step 4

If the applicant is successful in their financial application and the candidate passes the entrance exam and is offered an Assisted Place at the School, the Award will be subject to an annual means-test review. Parents of Assisted Place award holders will not be required to pay the £2500 deposit when submitting the Acceptance Form but a reduced deposit of £100.
