Bursary Support
STAHS is committed to providing a transformative secondary education to as many as possible of the young people who meet our entry criteria, regardless of their families’ financial circumstances.
Bursary funding is available to pupils applying for Year 7 and Year 12 entry to the Senior School. (In exceptional circumstances Bursary Awards may be awarded to pupils applying to join Senior School in other year groups. Bursary Awards are not available to pupils applying to join the Prep School.). Bursary Awards provide up to 100% assistance with School tuition fees. The School may also make additional awards over and above the cost of tuition fees, for example to assist with costs such as travel, uniform, School lunches, educational trips and music lessons.
The School considers a number of factors when making a judgement on the offer of financial support. As with all applications for places, we seek to identify pupils who will gain most from and give most to STAHS. In assessing a child’s suitability, potential as well as attainment in examinations and assessments are considered. Bursary funds are limited and priority will be given to those we judge can benefit most from our curricular and co-curricular provision. Each pupil to whom support is offered must, in the opinion of the Head, be likely to make good academic progress following admission and benefit from participation in the wider, co-curricular activities on offer at the School. Each applicant should meet the School’s normal academic requirements.
To apply for a bursary we ask you to complete a detailed bursary application form to help us to assess accurately each individual application. The application deadlines for pupils joining in September 2025 are:
Senior School: Friday 15 November 2024
Sixth Form: Monday 4 November 2024
