Brentwood SchoolBrentwood School Brentwood School provides scholarships and bursaries to enable clever

boys and girls to experience the world class opportunities available at the school. There are a number of ways in which parents are able to receive financial assistance to help them pay school fees. This help comes in the form of Scholarships and Bursaries for pupils who meet our criteria for financial assistance. On average, about one fifth of our pupils receive such assistance.

ScholarshipsAcademic Scholarships are awarded to candidates who score the highest marks in the Entrance Examination (held in January every year for entry to the school the following September). All pupils who receive academic scholarships will also have performed well at interview and a good report is expected from their current school.  This award is not means-tested and is worth between 10% and 20% of fees.. If your child is talented in a particular subject area (Art, Drama, Music or Sport) then you may apply for a specialist Scholarship. Scholarships awarded in these areas will only be offered to pupils who have performed well academically

Assessing eligibility for a Bursary: The family's net disposable income is based on the family's gross income, direct outgoings and the value of property and other assets. This information is collated by asking parents to complete a confidential assessment form provided by the school. Each application for a bursary is considered on its merits but, by way of general guidance, a family with a net disposable income of more than £48,000 is unlikely to attract a bursary while a family with a net disposable income of less than £18,000 might be offered a 100% bursary. A family with a net disposable income of £28,000 might qualify for a 50% bursary.

Bursary Forms will be sent to all those who have registered and must be returned by 30th December

What the children thought.What the children thought.

I have great memories of York but the sealife centre was the best.

I really enjoyed York and I will never forget that special week.

I opened the door to my room and it looked immaculate, I thought -it won’t look like that in the morning.

York was a great trip, I had a great time.
