The largest area of public benefit through our schools is the provision of means-tested bursaries to help lower-income families pay all or part of their school fees.
Bursaries Impact
Each year we support hundreds of pupils with their school fees, with on average three quarters being ‘transformational’, with the bursaries given accounting for more than 70 per cent of school fees.
Our schools report regularly on the impact bursaries have on students’ educational attainment and life chances. Bursary students achieve significantly higher external exam results than would be expected given their impact and bursary alumni indicate that that the support given puts them on a life changing trajectory.
