Scholarships & Bursaries

Scholarships

St Faith’s offers Academic Scholarships for children entering Year 3, and these are available for both internal and external candidates. There is no formal application procedure; children who perform very well in the Year 3 entry tests (external candidates) and regular assessments in their Year 2 class (internal candidates) will be invited to sit the scholarship papers. When awarding a scholarship, we will take in to account the results of these scholarships tests and the reference from the child’s current school. Scholarships are occasionally awarded to candidates who perform extremely well in the Entrance Tests for Years 4 to 8. Academic Scholarship awards are 5% of the full fees.

St Faith’s Bursaries

St Faith’s offers a limited number of discretionary, means-tested bursaries awarded on a sliding scale. The awards are reviewed annually with the expectation that they will decrease over time in order that as many families as possible are able to benefit from the limited funding. Funding will be given to students who will benefit most from a St Faith’s education and contribute fully to school life. These bursaries are available to new applicants and existing students. Existing families who are committed to St Faiths but whose financial circumstances have changed since admission, will be prioritised over new applicants. Bursaries are not normally awarded to pre prep students and both parents must be in full time employment.

If you would like to be considered for a bursary, please complete this form in the first instance. The Bursar’s PA, Mrs Tracy Parr, will then contact you to make an appointment for you to meet with the Bursar to discuss your circumstances and the required bursary percentage.

The closing date for bursary applications for September 2026 entry is 24 October 2025.

All families applying for a new bursary will be sent a link to our Bursary Portal, in early September. You will need to supply information and supporting documentation via the portal. Bursary Administration Limited administer all applications on the School’s behalf, and they will arrange a meeting with applicants, via Zoom.
