Harrodian Bursary Programme

Harrodian Bursary Programme

The purpose of the bursary is to give the gift of an extraordinary education to talented youngsters, who do not have the financial means but who would benefit enormously from studying at the Harrodian. The bursary is means tested and will be granted to a limited number of candidates, who have achieved the appropriate academic standards to pass the 11+ and 13+.

The ability of the candidates to integrate socially is also an important aspect, and families with place offers are visited at home to discuss this. 

The bursary programme will also encourage diversity, social integration and inclusion, as well as developing positive relationships through engaging with the wider local community.

School fees are a major financial commitment and the hope is that a bursary can make entry to the Harrodian a reality for local children from a more diverse range of back grounds.
