Belmont Grosvenor School is progressively raising funds for a bursary scheme and is very keen to encourage applications from parents who, because of their financial situation, would not normally be able to afford to send their child/children to the school.
Our Headmistress is extremely happy to have a confidential discussion with any interested family who feel they may benefit from a bursary and an education at Belmont Grosvenor School.
All applications for bursary places are dealt with by the School Business Manager who can be contacted at Belmont Grosvenor School, Swarcliffe Hall, Birstwith, Harrogate, HG3 2JG, telephone: 01423 771029, email hkernaghan@belmontgrosvenor.co.uk.
All applicants will be required to complete a detailed means-test form and may be required to attend an interview. All information provided to the school in relation to bursary applications is treated confidentially.
Bursary places for each year of entry may be awarded to a small number of children. Awards will normally be made as part of the entrance examination process. However, it should be stressed that bursaries are awarded as a result of the financial need of the applicants and are not correlated to academic performance in the entrance examination (other than the requirement for applicants to pass the academic entry requirements.)
All applications for bursary places are assessed on a means tested basis and may include an interview at the School and a home visit.
There is no residence qualification; however family situations, including the number of school-aged children, 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 such as lifestyle choices.
These will include both capital and current income. Any awards made for each year of entry will be subject to annual means testing thereafter.
As a very rough guide, combined family incomes of more than £42,000 with one school-aged child, are unlikely to qualify for bursary help.
The number of awards that can be given out each year is very limited.
