Pastoral support and bursary
Our school community is vibrant in its diversity and inclusivity. To ensure your health and happiness whilst at sixth form, we provide a wide range of guidance and support.
Sixth Form Bursary
One of our priorities at the sixth form is the welfare of our students and to enable our students to overcome any financial barriers in education in pursuit of their learning.
What is the 16 – 19 Bursary Fund?
The government has given schools and colleges a bursary fund. This fund is to be shared amongst the students who meet certain requirements set by the individual school or academy and will be allocated on a needs basis. The fund is available for 16-19 year olds to provide support with the costs of full-time education.
Who is eligible?
Eligibility for discretionary bursaries is based on annual household incomes and is divided into three bands.
To be considered eligible for the bursary payments at our sixth form, the total household income (employment and government assistance income included) must be below £25,000.
How may I be supported?
If you are eligible for the bursary fund, you may be supported with:
- weekly bus pass
- school resources – books, stationery etc.
- dress-code
- school trip contributions
- UCAS applications
