Practicalities

Bursaries
Means-tested bursaries for children entering Year 3 or above; level set by financial need and available resources, not academic ability; reassessed annually. Majority of awards 'likely to be modest', bridging the gap to what parents can afford. Applications any time, from a finite annual fund (first come until allocated). Can combine with other concessions such as sibling discount. No max % or threshold published. 2026-10-14[4]
